[maemo-developers] MeeGo

[From: Luca De Cicco]

Sorry I didn't cc the list.

I guess that the follow ups of this story will be very interesting.
For starters,
MeeGo claims to target automotive, where Intel has a very thin market
share (if any).
Will Intel bend to ARM for the development of MeeGo? Except for
netbooks that ship
Atom CPUs all the other MeeGo targets seem to be ARM devices.

Any thoughts?
