This is really a companion Blog to an article I recently wrote, called “Which Design Comes First: Hardware Or Software?”.

I ended the article with the words “Chip vendors are trying to battle their way back into monetizing on software after Android essentially neutralized them. The hardware-software world remains very interesting!”, Well, this deserves some examples.
