Haven't really been following recent Handheld developments lately, so this may already be old news, but is it known if Intel's Menlow Mobile Internet Device (MID) platform incorporates any specialised graphics hardware?

Just saw this Computex coverage (http://techreport.com/onearticle.x/12624) of Menlow at The Tech Report and Cyril's comment at the end made we wonder:

[...]
Chandrasekhar also let slip a couple of interesting tidbits. When asked about gaming on Menlow devices, he insisted users "will not be disappointed" with Menlow's graphics capabilities, although he declined to elaborate. According to Chandrasekhar, the size of the MID market will be between that of the cell phone and notebook markets by 2010-2011.
Can one dare to hope... PowerVR SGX variant :?:

Our partnership with Intel in the personal computing/UMPC segment is progressing well...

...We expect this to lead to product shipments towards the latter part of our 07/08 financial year.

Menlow seems to fit the time-line of the UMPC SGX license by Intel.

How about this list of manufacturers then:

'Intel Announces Strategic Collaborators for MID and UMPC Categories – In a sign of growing momentum in the industry, Chandrasekher announced more than 15 industry leaders which have embraced Intel’s “Full Internet in Your Pocket” vision, are investing in the UMPC and MID categories, and are expected to bring products over time. These companies included system manufacturers such as Aigo*, Clarion*, Fujitsu*, Harman-Becker*, Hitachi*, Lenovo*, LG Electronics*, NEC*, Panasonic*, Samsung*, and Toshiba*, and service providers such as Clearwire*, KDDI*, Korea Telecom*, NTT DoCoMo* and Sprint.'
