For Microsoft, these new Always Connected PCs could become their “Chromebook” killer, so to speak, as it runs all Windows apps and is priced similarly to Chromebooks.The second reason is that Qualcomm’s 835 Snapdragon mobile processor has as much power as some of the CPUs that are in mainstream laptops today. That really enticed Microsoft to spend the last two years with Qualcomm to optimize Windows to work within the ARM architecture. Together they have created a viable portable PC design and platform with the kind of battery life and instant on capabilities you get with smartphones.The third reason is that carriers see this as a new way to expand their overall businesses. While demand for smartphones is still strong, the market for them is becoming increasingly saturated and carriers will need new ways to sustain growth. The Always Connected PC might be an especially promising new market as Gigabit LTE, and eventually 5G, roll out and bring far faster data speeds.I’ve covered the PC industry for 35 years and have seen many inflection points that either helped grow the industry, or changed its direction. My early take is that the Always Connected PC has legs, and could even help revive a PC industry that’s been shrinking over the last 10 years. Microsoft and Qualcomm will have to keep pushing the concept, and keep hardware partners and carriers all pulling in the same direction. We should know sometime next year if it’s looking like consumers are coming along for the ride.

Not that Open Garden is limited to Wi-Fi, it will happily make use of Bluetooth or wired connections where they’re available and thus doubles as a tethering application - sharing a phone’s internet connection with a laptop or tablet - but be aware that Open Garden’s socialist roots will make such connectivity available to anyone nearby who also has Open Garden’s software installed.Our own connectivity was established using a combination of Wi-Fi Direct, traditional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and worked well enough to browse web pages and stream audio. Open Garden warns that some Android (and Mac) apps won’t work, as they ask the OS whether Wi-Fi or cellular is available before attempting a connection, but applications which just forge ahead and ask for a socket work fine.Using cellular frequencies would be better of course, but the legality would be very questionable - one’s mobile phone broadcasts a signal only with the acquiescence of the licence holder, which approved the hardware. Using the same hardware to broadcast a different signal would almost certainly be in breach of something in the terms and conditions.

We’ve seen other mesh networking experiments, particularly on Android and using Wi-Fi, but Open Garden is the first we’ve seen which combines ease of use with cross-technology connectivity and once working it is very impressive and worth seeing in action.The normal caveats apply: it is beta software which hopes to fund itself with sales to network operators and handset manufacturers, and might destroy your hardware - though we had no problems. It also can’t be switched off, only uninstalled, so the Open Garden is somewhere one can go, and leave (by uninstalling), but don’t expect to be able to drop in only when it suits. Gnome project cofounder and current Xamarin CTO Miguel de Icaza says he’s done wrestling with Linux on the desktop, and that he now uses Apple kit exclusively for all of his workstation needs.De Icaza is well known in the open source community for developing a number of client-side technologies for Linux, including the Midnight Commander file shell, the Gnome desktop environment, and the Mono project.

But in a blog post on Tuesday, de Icaza wrote that not only does he no longer use Linux for his day-to-day computing needs, but he hasn’t actually booted his Linux workstation since October 2012. In fact, he says, he hasn’t even bothered to plug it in.De Icaza writes that his transition to OS X was a gradual one, and didn’t begin in earnest until he took his Mac laptop on a vacation to Brazil around 2008:Computing-wise that three week vacation turned out to be very relaxing. Machine would suspend and resume without problem, WiFi just worked, audio did not stop working, I spend three weeks without having to recompile the kernel to adjust this or that, nor fighting the video drivers, or deal with the bizarre and random speed degradation that my ThinkPad suffered.While I missed the comprehensive Linux toolchain and userland, I did not miss having to chase the proper package for my current version of Linux, or beg someone to package something. Binaries just worked.Even after that experience, de Icaza says, he only used Macs part-time for a long while. He says that during the period that he was employed at Novell, he felt compelled to endure Novell’s desktop Linux products as a user would.

"I believed strongly in dogfooding our own products," he writes. "I believed that both me and my team had to use the software we wrote and catch bugs and errors before it reached our users ... I routinely chastised fellow team members that had opted for the easy path and avoided our Linux products."But when de Icaza and his team were laid off following the purchase of Novell by Attachmate, he says, the incentive to keep "dogfooding" disappeared. Meanwhile, his frustrations with the limitations of Linux on the desktop had been mounting, and he was heading for a full meltdown."To me, the fragmentation of Linux as a platform, the multiple incompatible distros, and the incompatibilities across versions of the same distro were my Three Mile Island/Chernobyl," he writes.These days, de Icaza is working on a different kind of client software ecosystem at Xamarin, producing cross-platform development tools based on the Mono Project for Android, iOS, and Mac OS X. And he says that when friends ask him to recommend a computer for them, he tells them to buy a Mac – just like he says he’s always done.Chinese handset-maker ZTE has announced a "strategic collaboration" with Intel with the goal of creating a phone built around Chipzilla’s new Atom Z2580 processor.

"The collaboration with Intel is an important part of ZTE’s strategy for product development," the company wrote in its announcement, "both in terms of time-to-market and in providing customers’ with a great handset experience."Intel’s Atom Z2580 was announced at the recently completed Mobile World Conference in Barcelona as one of three new processors aimed at the mobile market: the dual-core Z2580, Z2560, and Z2520, with top clock speeds of 2.0GHz, 1.6GHz, and 1.2GHz, respectively.Each is built using a 32-nanometer process and featuring Intel’s two-threads-per-core Hyper-Threading Technology. The successors to Intel’s "Medfield" mobile platform, the new chips were codenamed "Clover Trail+" before launch.A smartphone based on the Atom Z2580 won’t be the first Atom-powered handset produced by ZTE’s mobile devices division. It currently offers the ZTE Grand X In, which features a 4.3-inch display with a QHD (960-by-540 pixel) resolution, running Android 4.0 aka "Ice Cream Sandwich", and based on the single-core, 1.6GHz member of Intel’s Medfield series.

That phone, ZTE claims, was "one of the best-selling smartphones in Austria during 2012" – which, from The Reg point of view, is not exactly a stunning tale of success. The ZTE Grand X In has also been available in Germany, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Macedonia, Slovakia, Moldova, Greece, Sweden, and Norway, and will soon be available in France. ZTE did not brag about its sales in any of those other countries.In its announcement, ZTE also said that it ranks number four among mobile handset manufacturers globally, citing figures from the analysts at IDC, but doesn’t note that that distiction was achieved with a paltry 3.6 per cent market share. Among smartphone vendors, IDC ranks it at number five, although with a larger market share of 4.3 per cent, behind Sony at 4.5, Huawei at 4.9, each far behind Apple’s 21.8 and Samsung’s 29.0 per cent.Although it’s highly unlikely that Intel’s chips will find their way into phones from those two market leaders, its design win with ZTE might help it get some traction in the fast-growing Chinese smartphone market. Considering Intel’s poor showing to date in the handset space, any incremental gain is to be welcomed by the server, desktop, and laptop chipmaker, which has been woefully late to the smartphone and tablet markets.
