Don't make the mistake of equating the mobile market with commodity PC machines.

Don't make the mistake of underestimating ARM in the embedded market... they cover some 70+% of the marketshare.

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.

Some say they're the odd couple out without a significant marketshare in the smartphone\highend phone segment... plus, I guess they have some similar strategies that can be aligned (both use open source community to further their business, etc.)
