According to this article Apple is trying to buy ARM.
If there is a GOD, this cannot happen. I would MUCH rather see a Google-owned ARM where they allow everyone EXCEPT Apple to use the ARM than an Apple monopoly where no one EXCEPT Apple would be allowed to use the ARM architecture in any device that competed with an Apple product. Apple makes their money with (overpriced) hardware, Google doesn't. That's not part of their business model or strategy. However, ideally, I would much, much rather see ARM remain totally independent.

If any attempt is made by Apple to buy ARM, it should be fought tooth and nail by enthusiasts everywhere in every legal way they can.

Who cares ,if there is a pandora 2 lol not even a pandora 1 yet the hardware can change and mabe an advanced atom chip or that nvidia chip would be a choice ,more money better all round ,the only problem is battery life ,isn't this the only reason to go with arm ? i recon arm is the stopping force of the pandora anyway and in the future these new small mobile chips will perform better and with less power.

edit -- the way off distant future !
 
As long as they continue to make their chips available to consumer products it shouldnt make a difference. Hoarding the chips wont make them any money.

It would remove any competition for apple and most other companies with embedded devices would be doomed.

It'd be approaching a monopoly... and really when has Apple ever worried about competition? People will buy anything with the apple name on it just out of habit.
