Another major Google app just got a Windows on Arm release

Google has introduced a native Google Drive for Desktop application specifically for Windows on Arm computers, marking it as the second app optimized for this platform after the Chrome browser. The app is currently in beta, and users may experience bugs, so Google recommends using non-production data or having backups. The app offers functionality similar to its x64 version but lacks the Outlook Meet plugin. It allows for efficient syncing between cloud storage and local devices. Other recent Arm-compatible applications include Arc Browser, NordVPN, and Notion, while the Quick Share app operates through emulation. The Google Drive app is available for download through Google's official link.

Qualcomm cancels its miniature Windows on Arm PC

Qualcomm has canceled its Snapdragon Dev Kit, a compact Windows on Arm PC originally set for release in June, citing that it "has not met our usual standards of excellence." Customers will receive full refunds for their orders. The launch faced multiple challenges, and Qualcomm has not provided specific reasons for the delays. Some developers received units before the announcement, with one noting performance comparable to Apple's M3 Pro but lacking Linux support and having peculiar resale restrictions. A missing HDMI port was identified as a potential issue, with suggestions that it may have caused production delays and failed FCC compliance testing. The dev kit was intended to help developers adapt applications for Windows on Arm, with notable successes in native Arm64 applications. The cancellation raises concerns about Qualcomm's strategy for desktop PCs as it approaches its upcoming Snapdragon summit.

Some applications still rely on emulation, but many popular apps are transitioning to native Arm versions.
