To further prove that analysts' projections are just informed guesses, two major analyst firms just presented a completely different outlook on the netbook market and where it is going. Even though both project major growth, one of them sees a very bright future for non-Intel netbooks, while the other sticks with Atom.

I don't think it's about who will dominate the netbook market but rather what the netbook will be marketed as.
Right now most see the atom based netbook as a mini-laptop. When the arm based netbooks start to come around they will most likely be marketed more as an internet device/pda and they will most likely be running mobile operating systems like android, symbian or even windows mobile. If they market the arm netbooks as anything more than a uber pda then I don't see a bright future ahead of them.
