Sorry if this post is a bit late, so seems pointles. I couldn't stay online before cos I was only in 2G. (F****** Vodafone network).

I don't mean to p*ss on the bonfire, but don't Intel have their own mobile chip, for the purpose of developing MeeGo? The Atom CPU I think it's called.
Of course they may release an ARM version (the first public release, so to speak) just to see how it's received in the market.
Then if it's successful, maybe they'll switch to ATOM from then on.

Just my thoughts on this.
