We do not address other GUI platforms in this first study. One of
the better known is the Palm GUI widely used with Palm
OS [20] powered handheld computers. No Palm handheld
computer uses an Intel StrongARM processor yet, which would make a
fair comparison difficult. Java and Visual Basic are also popular
for GUI development. However, their well-known performance
disadvantages compared to C/C++ are also translated into energy
disadvantages, although they may have advantages in other aspects.
Other GUI platforms/toolkits for embedded Linux are described in a
recent article [29].
