For year now, the x86 microprocessor market has been dominated by Intel and AMD, and the rivalry between the two companies forced both to be innovative in order to gain a competitive advantage over the other - benefiting customers. With the rise of 'mobile internet devices' and low-power budget notebooks, this new market will be enriched by not only Via, but also nVIDIA.

Correction: OS X is still running on PPC (admittedly a dying platform in the consumer desktop space, though strong in consoles and many embedded spaces), and is currently running on ARM in the form of iPhone and iPod Touch platform (and I think AppleTV, but I'm not sure about that one, but it makes sense), and who knows what Monday will bring to light, exactly? The iPhone OSX AFAIK is not truly comparable to Windows Mobile: it's a very compatible kernel codebase, with a lot of userspace compatibility as well, with the biggest difference being the GUI SDK, which (unlike Windows Mobile) is well-suited to the portable realm.
