Google and ARM looking to standardize ARM/Android architecture

Google and ARM looking to standardize ARM/Android architecture: "Google and ARM looking to standardize ARM/Android architecture Google is looking to standardize its Android 3.0 mobile operating system and may also be looking to standardize Android with the ARM architecture products available in many smartphones and tablets.



By standardizing Android 3.0 Honeycomb, Google will be looking to eliminate most of the drawbacks of the OS, says Digi including a buggy UI and lack of native apps.



While there are over 250,000 apps in the Android Market, only under 100 were built for 3.0 specifications and run 'perfectly' on tablets.



Additionally, the report says the 'plans to standardize their platforms should significantly improve ARM architecture's major drawback of having difficulty upgrading, while can significantly reduce the development time of downstream partners as well as maintain quality.'



Google recently announced it would not be releasing the Android 3.0 open source code:



'While we're excited to offer these new features to Android tablets, we have more work to do before we can deliver them to other device types including phones,' a Google spokeswoman said in a statement. 'We're committed to providing Android as an open platform across many device types and will publish the source as soon as it's ready.'
