Re: [Gumstix-users] Future of OMAP processors

[Greg K. <gk...@ya...>]

I read it as 2.  

In any case there are alternatives, like Freescale and Tegra.

Came across this in the news.

What are your thoughts on this? There are two possible outcomes

	1. TI is really getting out of the OMAP market. In this case I am worried. Do SOM manufacturers like Gumstix have a fallback plan? Even if demands would be met for the next 4-5 years, developers might have to start looking at alternate options. 

	2. TI is only leaving the mobile devices market and is refocusing on embedded systems with longer life cycles as the press release seems to indicate. This could be good news for the non-mobile embedded market.
