If by "portability" you mean cross-platform, sure. But Intel could have been a formidable competitor in MIDs.

With them and other majors seemingly jumping into netbooks or cell phones, where (if anywhere) will be the competitive threat for linux-based MIDs in 2009? It seems all we have is a bunch of small APAC based outfits that will get attention on blogs but be incapable of gaining traction in the mainstream US and EU markets.
