Google suspends Huawei's Android license

I'm tempted to wait until autumn if there's an official release date announced.

Eeeep:

ARM instructed employees to halt "all active contracts, support entitlements, and any pending engagements” with Huawei and its subsidiaries to comply with a recent US trade clampdown.

 

ARM's designs form the basis of most mobile device processors worldwide.

 

In a company memo, it said its designs contained “US origin technology”.

 

As a consequence, it believes it is affected by the Trump administration's ban.

 

One analyst described the move, if it became long-term, as an “insurmountable” blow to Huawei’s business.

 

He said it would greatly affect the firm's ability to develop its own chips, many of which are currently built with ARM’s underlying technology, for which it pays a licence.

I can't help but wonder if this is down to Trumpolini having shares in Apple/Samsung/some other manufacturer?

But isn't that against the law?

Like Judge Dredd, he is the law. (At least in his tiny pea brain).
