These pointdexters need to work on making a laptop fit into a cell, not a boat oar, not a large bar of soap.
A cellphone sized doohickey that will fit in the cell pocket on all those "Chrome" messenger bags.
But hey, if it has USB 2.0 and maybe firewire and can run Sonar 7.0.2 I might rock it.

]]> <![CDATA[Rumor: Apple Hopping on Board with Intel's Ultra-Mobile Platform]]> I think it's too early to go with intel. Intel is unproven in the ultra mobile space. There as a great post on Ars about ho things ill heat up at the 32nm level. while not directly stated, it is implied that intel is not expected to be competitive with ARM until then. Personally I hope that Apple plays it conservatively and goes with an omap3 or something similar for its next iphone.

]]> <![CDATA[Rumor: Apple Hopping on Board with Intel's Ultra-Mobile Platform]]> I'm really curious how Intel got a second-gen speed device to operate at 10% of the wattage. Sounds like it's just a chip that runs at that frequency, but doesn't actually have the computing power of the chip. Sure you could make a 486 chip run at 2ghz, but it won't actually operate that fast.

]]> <![CDATA[Rumor: Apple Hopping on Board with Intel's Ultra-Mobile Platform]]> If this is true it must mean that Apple believes in the Silverthorne CPU and that, in turn, means that a lot of great gadgets will be created using this chip. I've been disappointed at Intel for creating the A110/A100 since that dang chip is too slow. I'm hoping that they will redeem themselves with Silverthorne.

which should lead to lower prices (or higher profit margins) for any devices

Prepare for another $200 dollar price drop about 2 months after the iPhone II comes out.

]]> <![CDATA[Rumor: Apple Hopping on Board with Intel's Ultra-Mobile Platform]]> Mmm next gen iPhone.... [drooling] This is exactly the sort of announcement/rumor/fanboy fodder I've been hoping for, and I feel better for having held off on the current iPhone.

Prepare yourself for another $200 price drop 67 days after the iPhoneII comes out

]]> <![CDATA[Rumor: Apple Hopping on Board with Intel's Ultra-Mobile Platform]]> this is pretty awesome tech. i'd love to see what the fusion processor could do in applications like this, but more capable (more hungry though, i imagine).
