My estimation is 1 milion EUR budget and two years of work for x86 port. You can start bounty.  |
Your estimation imo does not hold any water Let's forget that 1 million EUR. What you said though is - it would take 2 years to acomplish. Two years = two years of salary for programmers, to acomplish the job. OK - how long are OS4 devs paid to bring us OS4 on X1000? How long are HW developers paid to bring us X1000?
It's just the same imo, because imo when thinking of ARM based devices out there (e.g. Beagle/Panda boards), those are already being developed by stand-alone community = no need to carry HW design expenses. I know we can't compare their performance to X1000, but Beagle based upon OMAP 5 might be coming soon enough.
Other than that - I don't want to argue here It is just my point of view, nothing more. IMO ARM is a good compromise to not enter desktop world, and yet being HW safe = having rather cheap HW available for your OS. There are also other advantages - with X1000 HW like design, you can't create power efficient and small enough devices, so it depends, where you want to go. ARM surely brings you much more options, e.g. for home automatition, etc. ...
