It's not really being "run" on the pod, is it? Remote desktop apps are available for both iOS and Android, but you've still got to have a 'cloud', 'net or personal, to work across. There are a couple of rudimentary CAD apps for tabs, even 3D, but no fillets, shelling or nurbs. I did hear of someone running an HTC phone CPU as a Pentium emulator, and apparently hosting Win 98, and there are also 5" and 7" tablets out of China that use XP on slow-clocked, low-power, VIA x86 CPUs, but I can't see either of those being very cooperative with CAD. However, Intel's due to release Atoms-for-phones later this year, and I've got a 10" tablet with an AMD CPU/GPU that's pretty good. AMD are supposedly going to cut the power required by stripping out PCI bus and VGA driver circuitry. My current (ho ho. electrical pun there, if you didn't notice) tab lasts 4-5 hours and runs Shark pretty well, so a fanless version that doesn't dumb down the dual core could be a Good Thing. I'm intrigued by a bare-bones Linux setup just becoming available that's the size of a flash drive, with a USB plug at one end and a socket at the other. It's called Raspberry Pi, costs circa $25, and has a 700MHz ARM with 128Mb RAM. Cute idea, if you want to go minimalist, but it's not going to love FatCAD either. raspberrypi.org. Longer term, if tabs are going to be kitted with quad cores and mucho RAM, I can see Android and Linux re-converging, and who knows where that'll lead to?
