Intel said they can make a better smartbook.

Moorestown smartbooks.
Flash, runtime (AIR, Android)
Smartphones
720p recording.
Long standby
Moblin2 and Wind River
Staying with Intel. Menlow continues as the XP platform
No windows on Moorestown. At least the initial or primary version of it.
UMPCs
* Compal KAX-15
* Digicube on Menlow
* XPPhone - Geode
* Viliv X70 EX
* Inproved Viliv S7
* Archos 9 (not at computex)
* MIDPhone (not at computex)
Moving up the chain....
How about Pineview for netbooks and high-end UMPCs?
We didn't get GPU info although there are some rumors around.
Why? What will it bring? Is it a risk to move from the trusted platform?
Cost? Efficiency? Power? Video decoding.
Netbooks continued....
netbooks wave continue - a ton of new designs but nothing groundbreaking except....
Nvidia ION
Multitouch T91
Moblin 2 for netbooks
What about Win 7. Will think slow down now as we move towards September/October
