Well for MeeGo it is supposed to be architecture independent, so the CPU type for user applications shouldn't matter in the slightest. Nokia's Qt tools and Madde make building for either trivial.

and would indicate that they don't have confidence that the OS alone can provide the necessary differentiation.
That or they got a real good deal from Intel.
