Intel gets some wireless cred
Another interesting quote:
"Designs from a number of electronics manufacturers -- the only one publicly announced is LG -- will use Moorestown in devices that are bigger than an iPhone but smaller than a netbook -- so-called Mobile Internet Devices or MIDs. Nokia (NOK) has tried to sell these recently and flopped."

Although trying to find a wind name that starts with an "I" is going to be tough...
See >>HERE<< and >>HERE<<
When we get to "L", "Lips" would be a pretty cool name.
...and with "M" we could have a dang theme song.

Its actually very good to read this news. It means less fragmentation indeed, reusage of code and more code tested widely, and more compatibility, while sticking on standards and definining standards together. Its something KDE and GNOME refused to do from start but are now learning to.
One should not forget that both Nokia's and Intel's core business are defined by their past while the present is in great flux. Nokia, for example, is not limited to producing cellphones. Intel, for example, does much more than merely desktop processors; they're just not market leader in these other segments. Heck... SSD, WiFi, Graphics Cards (licensed from VMware, but still open source drivers)...
So if you take that into account I don't see why "Nokia, Connecting People" cannot make a product which includes some of the above technology. Unlikely any time soon? Sure, but later we will see 'netbooks' or that type of 'power' (bit faster than current smartphones) with embedded processors and, 3D accelerated processors.
While you might say Atom currently sucks it is popular in netbook segment and its performance is accepted by the general public. From it goes up; not down. It also has its advantages (binary compatibility with x86-32; one of the reasons AMD64 won from Itanium), and you could say the same about older x86-32 processors. In 2 years, a lot can change. I, for one, never imagined [i]Nokia[i] picking up the ball Sharp left.

Bloomberg have some news about this subject... Just seem that they are confusing/mixing things big time (netbooks and mobile phones).

I can not see any time soon when Intel has anything that can be used in mobile phones? (At least Atom can't...)

Are we in a bit negative mood today? ;-)
Maemo 5 is a crucial step in the evolution of Maemo to a mainstream software platform. The evolution of Maemo will not stop with Maemo 5 as you indicated but continue with Harmattan and then with some release starting with an "I".
I would like to know if there will be a software upgrade path for the upcoming tablet device (called N900 around here).

I'm afraid that by 2011, netbooks will be so 2009. Sorry, but I think we've seen the big spike in netbooks.
I was in Target (a large retailer in the US), and saw a whole rack of netbook cases on clearance. It looks like they are not going to be selling netbooks much longer.
