angry tapir (http://www.techworld.com.au/) writes with news on Android getting support for a third architecture. From the article:"ARM rival MIPS is continuing its push to make a mark in low-cost tablets and quickly trying to bring Android 4.1 (Jellybean) to its processors. (http://www.techworld.com.au/article/430900/arm_rival_mips_porting_android_4_1_low-cost_tablets/) 'We are working aggressively on bringing Jelly Bean to MIPS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIPS_architecture), and expect that it will be available to our licensees very soon,' said Jen Bernier-Santarini, director of corporation communications at MIPS, in an email. Tablets with MIPS processors are largely low-cost and have found buyers mostly in developing countries. MIPS last week said a new tablet called Miumiu W1 from Chinese company Ramos would become available in a few months in India, Latin America and Europe. The tablet has a 7-inch screen, a MIPS processor running at 1GHz, front camera and a microSD slot for expandable storage."
