Well Atom 37xx could also bring use some other nice features:
- VT-x (hardware visualization support), meaning we might be able to efficiently run arbitrary virtual machines with KVM
- AES-NI (hardware encryption support) - could be used for efficient bulk data encryption (home or whole rootfs & home, etc.)
- secure key (hardware random number generator) - could also help with encryption when the system is entropy starved

They went with the Intel chip because they're likely to get enormous assistance from them, either in funding, price cuts, engineering assistance or all 3.
This is one of the reasons why it is so incredibly important, both from a financial and design perspective, that they manage to get a large high quality OEM for the second phone and modify an existing platform. Keeping development costs down for such a small company is so vital .. and why, in my view, the first phone has been semi-disastrous.

Not sure I have seen the exact chip used in the tablet in the thread... so it is confirmed to be a Z3735F (from Carsten Munk):

Except if there is a last-minute change from some parties...
