Quote one.
Only thing it changed, it seemed was the definition of 'everything'

IE: on other products, did you always have to "let good times roll" or you always "couldn't beat that feeling", etc?

In the UK advert for iPad, the voiceover stated:
"It's incredibly powerful"
The image on screen showed the device displaying some pie charts.
The point I was making was that in the advertising world of smoke and mirrors, having the Intel tag on a smartphone could go a long way.

atm X86 platform is a bigjoke even on the desktop. I mean I have an MiniITX Dual Atom CPU and the fact that I need to have a fan and a big heatsink on it makes me SICK.
It might be true that 1080p on singlecore Atom is impossible indeed, but Cortex A9 is equally helpless at 1080p. Not that it matters, an Omap3 or Omap4 would use the IVA/IVAHD for decoding, and atom would need something similar, like the previously mentioned ION on desktop.

Then why develop an ARM variant of Meego at all? Seems like a waste of resouces if they only intend to use it on x86 devices.
My prediction is that the N9 will be released late March and have an ARM CPU.
=> Make many types of devices with different hardware specs with ease.

And yeah,all adverts do it, that's what we were saying.
one particularly annoying apple ad on the radio in the past couple of years had various people, with pc woes, whose lives were transformed into trouble free computung bliss when they bought a mac
"I had a digital camera, and nobody could tell me which cable i needed, then i got a mac, and it was all so much simpler"
Yeah mate, first of all where'd you get your camera with no cable from, and second, if nobody knows what lead you need to connect to a pc, it's not likely to be easier to find someone who knows how to connect it to a mac..
Anyways...
"THE POWER OF AN INTEL PROCESSOR IN YOUR POCKET"
You got to admit, that would shift a lot of units, and, with that sort of processing power, seeing a lot of desktop software ports wouldn't be entirely out of the question.

If you add a sticker saying "8086 inside" or "mips inside" it will be assumed to be a benefit (from people that don't know what '8086' is), when compared to current mobiles that don't say "XXX inside".
However, if there was such a sticker (ARM inside) then using another one (Intel inside) would not be such a benefit, unless it was accompanied with promotional videos.
