tin- note the cpu used w/ the ARM 7; i dn recognize it but it turns out to be from qcom. i thought qcom involved but i'm not so sure. i think in fact its really TI. recall that qcom and ti recently entered into a 5 yr cross-licensing deal. also i will post a pr between msft and ti how they would be collaborating on the development of the stinger platform. samsung was the 1st OEM to announce it would be coming out with a smart phone based on that platform.
