many of the current ARM cores were developed by licensees of ARM technology rather than by the ARM parent company.
I see this as a bad thing for us
Not sure I get this. Is everyone worried because they think Apple might kill Android and make other phones more expensive?
I think all they do is publish specifications on CPUs, and manufacturers take those (since they are really good), and package them into microcontrollers. So thats why TI, NXP, and ST all have "ARM" microcontrollers - all based on the ARM coreControl over ARM could mean the best ARM core designs are only sold to certain companies...
I just see this as another attempt by Apple to control everything they can related to their devices. I don't like it to say the least.
i'm ok with that. that's when intel launches the next gen atoms built for cell phones allowing you to use x86 programs.

What's the point of having an infective architecture like the x86 when we already have a perfectly fine one?I really hope x86 will stay out of the embedded world. Anyway, I doubt this is the market intel is after.
