I realize that there is no proper thread on matter so I started a new thread.

I'm being possibly overly optimistic but I see this platform has the game changer in this market segment.
I don't expect it to take over the market in one or two year but it's clearly the Intel first tough blow in the direction of ARM. Put otherwise:
I see a lot a nitpicking and critics in the comment of the aforementioned sites but honestly I fail to see how to dismiss Intel achievement I didn't them to "get there" that fast.
OK it's still not perfect for smart-phone most likely due to first cost then form factor, but it's imho already almost a death blow to ARM supporting companies in the net-book segment.
I also read concern about the OS and the software and I don't see this as a problem at all. Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if Apple is actually the first to embraces Intel solution (say sometime in 2011).
I'm overly enthusiastic but when I read Anand article (the first up it seems) I could help but think "that's huge and it spells no good for competitors..."

After attending this Moorestown briefing, I walked away fairly convinced that I’d just seen the future of mainstream computing. No, I’m not saying that I think 40% of the market will be toting around Moorestown-based devices next year. I mean that, if certain requisite elements are in place, I see no reason why the median form factor used for computing shouldn’t continue its march from the desktop to the pocket.
