They didn't straight up say this, but they are making phones that are meant for mining.
They said "This is quite literally PC gaming graphics in your pocket" in reference to the new GPUs in their phones that are about to go out.

You can also use Droid Mini PCs, just BTW.

Does anyone plan on utilizing this once it happens?
I remember their were a few people making coins in the past that were supposed to be mined on phones, but no one could ever get it to work because phones don't have big enough GPUs (before now).

Yes, if and when it is viable to do so.

I heard there is already mining app, and I bet there are about to be a slew of new ones.

is it possible make a miner and then lock a mining algorithm to a specific chip type ? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) I mean ... in pseudo code #if defined(__ia64) || defined(__itanium__) || defined(_M_IA64) /* Itanium -------------------------------------------------- */
#endif so ..if the statement is true then call mining function bla bla while(nonce < MAX): if sha(sha(block+nonce)) < target: return nonce nonce += 1 ps-> of course for mobile could be ARM http://sourceforge.net/p/predef/wiki/Architectures/

As I understand it, you'd use RenderScript in pretty much the same way existing android miners use it.
So programmatic approach will not change, just speed on new devices will.

Sorry, Let me try to be more clear ..
Is it possible to develop a cryptocoin which can only be mined by specific chip architecture ? intuitively I think it is possible because it's reminds me lock serial number to hardware by retrieving hardware identifier to lock ...
Why would you lock a cryptocoin to specific hardware ? to sell hardware I guess ..

I think so. I have heard of GPU, CPU and ASIC coins, is that what you mean? Or do you mean even more specific than that?

...
to illustrate:
The company X wants to develop a product and jump into crypto currency world, they think their last product called "X-wallet" is not cool theses days so they decide to make their own crypto currency.. the marketing guys of the company already have an idea ... "buy our mobile and make digital cash while you use it" .. so they decide sell a new cellphone product let's say, called ... "Nex-us-cash" but they want to keep their new crypto currency under their control by locking it to their own hardware ...

I think that if they wanted to do that they would have to do like Devcoin. Make it where ANYONE can mine the coin, but a percentage (in Devcoin's case 90% of coins mined) go to people that do tasks for the company (in Devcoin's case: writing, coding and inventing). Then they would be able to let ANYONE mine their coin which does not limit their hash rate possibilities, and let's them control the flow of coins that keeps people within their network.
