	I saw this elsewhere: "I finally completed my first PG work unit. Sent 16 May 2012 \| 6:45:56 UTC Time reported or deadline 25 May 2012 \| 8:28:39 UTC Completed and validated Run time (sec) 401,460.01 CPU time (sec) 376,287.40 Credit 1,093.43 Cullen/Woodall (Sieve) Anonymous platform (CPU)" The link to the cell phone software is here: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=2896 Androids only I think!

	It's a cute idea. I think most of the population is realizing they don't need a lot of computing power in their smart phones. People finding out their smart phones have all the computing power they need -- one or two cores going 1 GHz does the trick for them, so why spend money on desktops. Occasional articles showing up about "Is This the End of Desktops?" Time will tell how that affects us. I'm still saving up for my i7-2700 (3 GHz or Bust), but the hurrieder I go, the behinder I get. Or, the hurrieder I go, the closer the economy is nipping at my behind. Best luck, neil / scranton, let me out let me out let me out let me out

	Indeed; ARM processors will probably be taking on the server market soon (see here for some information, though you can ignore the rediculous 15x better efficiency claim for now). We don't currently build the malariacontrol binary for ARM, although one guy has successfully built it for his own ARM device. Right now, though, ARM support isn't high on our agenda. Not quite sure what Neil means, but Intel is still king for performance.

	This is very interesting... Wonder if it would run on my tablet PC? Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0" (Android) [edit]Reading more on the thread quoted...someone did it successfully on a 10.1" Galaxy Tab 2...basically same tablet, but larger screen/memory.[/edit]

I understand that MCN isn't ready (assuming that's what you mean). I just finished my first two Milkyway WUs on it: 12.75 hrs and ~160 credits each.
