They laid off the entire ARM team in Austin, ~30 engineers. This team provided the GDS for all MX SOCs. Guess they think Israel can do it, but guess again, there's more technology than the Israel idiots can handle. Consumers, good luck on any ECOs and any next generation products. The product roadmap is false. Hope Freescale never has to ECO any of the ARM cores for their MX SOC lines. They laid off the entire ARM team in Austin, ~30 engineers.

Then a google search lead me to this post. Here is my haunch. I think perhaps there are some hardware based on this processor like this story on linuxdevices.com Skytone announced the Alpha 680, a 533MHz Freescale i.MX31-based netbook with a 7-inch touchscreen that may well be the first Android netbook. http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS2416044211.html While reading the Jaunty Release notes I was wondering the same thing.
