I understand the difference between the two. Looking at the Wikipedia entry , it seems that the litte-endian format is gaining momentum, and this is not such a big problem as before.
HP-UX on Itanium is the only latest processor to use the big-endian format. Most others use little-endian, which indicates that industry is standardizing on this. It's true? Am I missing something? Are there any of these differences for mobile OS such as iOS and Android?
