WTF is this drivel doing here ?
- "Intel 'had'[citation needed] a lock on the netbook market"
- The Apple tablet isn't released yet.
- Is the (as yet unreleased) Apple tablet(?) going to be a netbook by any stretch of the word ?
- The "Windows that runs Office" (XP, Vista, 7) doesn't run on ARM.
- ARM wasn't (isn't) as powerful as Atom. Neither is stuff from VIA or AMD in the price/power range.
- Apple did buy PA Semi for some reason.
- PA Semi has experience in power efficient Power architecture. (http://web.archive.org/web/20070927205658/http://www.pasemi.com/ http://web.archive.org/web/20070927205658/http://www.pasemi....)
Something is wrong with the tenses of this 'article'.
"and it was widely assumed that the chip giant would win the Tablet contract at all costs. " :: would try to win at all cost. would need to win at all cost . was/is willing to win at all cost. ????
"Intel can't be happy sitting on the sidelines as Apple's new product catches on with consumers. "
Shouldn't present be replaced by speculative futur ?
