The way things look, the ex-Nokia team is probably going to keep using TI OMAPs in their devices. Let's just hope they don't include stupid amounts of closed core components such as DSME, BME, libcal and the like.
I am sure alot will continue be closed. And about OMAP I doubt... I dont like Intels x86 arch but I think that is the way they will o. I said before that is risky for such small company but in same time:

1. Intel may have big intrest to "sponsor them
2. Jolla small player lower volumes means Texas and others has no intrests and hard for jolla to get chips cause of lowvolumes

intel in other side can use jolla as hmm "betatesters" of theyr mobile platform?
