That's what it sounded like the author was trying to say, but I think you're right, it's very unlikely. If Apple is doing anything with PA Semi's technology, I'd expect a mobile device with more horsepower than we're accustomed to seeing. It could be possible however to use PA Semi's technology as an extra processor to service things like video encode/decode, physics, etc. Or even a TV tuner, for that matter. And there are of course other possibilities as well, but I don't have all day to type this :)
