Intel has sold off its RISC investment, and is gunning the x86 power on the
mobile phone market. Is the x86 compatibility a formidable factor to
contend in the mobile phone or smart phone arena? Are the mobile phone
users and environment same as the PC? I have my doubts.
Playing with the N95 for a while now, I am more inclined to bet on the
Google clients, OS and Google online applications. It shall be a battle of
software service. Processor is irrelevant. iPhone with its totally welded
up structure shall be a passing fad.
