Yes but most users don't see the "ARM inside" logo so what do they care? The intel logo makes an impact - it's advertising and it's on every second PC.

So still I ask my question:

Why did Nokia choose intel? - I don't think that unifying the mobile linux distributions was THAT important to them or that Moblin represented any competition.
