Intel's smoking crack
Phones will remain phones (and not x86 mini-PC's); for small tablets, the Nokia N-series (especially the coming Wimax model) is the way forward, not a crusty Windows-infested UUMPC.BTW, the rise of open source (easy to port to different architectures) and internet standards (e.g. Javascript) really shows the Intel, like MS, is still stuck on the desktop.
good in short term
It's simple - if x86 smart phones out compete ARM based ones - that means they are better, right?If not they shouldn't replace ARM.
In the long run it could very well mean less competition -> quality.
Anyway. There is little to stop Intel.
