The netbook and MID (mobile internet device) markets are all the rage these days, and Intel is betting big on these markets with its Atom processor line. However, Intel doesn't stop there - the company is even buying wireless networks. According to Intel's CEO Paul Otellini, it's all part of bringing the Internet to new places and people.

you mean go back to ARM? There have been ARM "netbooks" for ages ;P
They'll never go back to ARM. Sure it might have some efficiency advantages, but x86 has the compatibility knockout. You can run the same software as on any other computer, and that is invaluable. Transforms these little MIDs from toys to useful computers for me.

Well, they'll all switch to ARM soon anyway, right ?
But it won't really frighten intel, they have ARM licences anyway
The world is well made, sometimes...
