This fills me with hope for the windows mobile phone lines.
Imagine a 1.86ghz WM phone with 1080i support.
I'd rather 1080p but 1080i is even better than nvidia's 780p capable processors.
Although your really wont be able to tell the difference on such a small screen.
Hopefully phone manufacturers make smartphones and pocket pc's upgradeable as in hardware wise so i wont have to be stuck with thismb ram and 201mhz processor.
lets go intel make these less demanding of energy so we can see atom processors in mobile phones by the end of this year please!

That is just plain incredible. I was cleaning out the garage yesterday, and came across an old laptop... You know the knid that is 3 nches thick, came only in white, and had the flip up screen that only took up about half of the area like the EEEEEEEEE PC.

Don't forget this thing had the 40gig HD, and a processor that was the size of a dinner plate that had a hard time running DOS.

This tiny litte processor has as much processor power as many of the gateway and HP machines sold only a year or so ago.

So when is my Ipod gonna get one... HeHe

As an embedded developer, all I can say is WOW...I can't wait to get my breakout board. Hopefully these will go on sale within the 60 day time frame.

I want someone to put the Z500 in something the size of a DS and give me the functionality of a regular laptop at that size that can run for hours on a "AAA" battery.

Since Apple is using intel chips now I'm hoping that Apple has products in the pipeline that plan on using the atom chips. Perhaps not in the iphone but hopefully other mobile internet type devices?
