Was it actually a working sample? The 6-hour battery life ones are probably the Viliv S5 and the Wibrain i1. I'm liking that Viliv a lot. Steve. Thanks DL. Was it actually a working sample?

In fact, if Menlow is anything to go by, the timeframe between first demonstrations and product availability will be about 18 months. We’ll keep an eye out for videos and details about Moorestown though." I'm going to try to be an optimist about this. Silverthorne was a very cheap way for Intel to test the waters for this market. Kinda a 1 size fits all chip for all the varieties of low power devices. Netbooks took off, and soaked up all the Si making MID's not so easy to develop, and I think that was one of the reasons that they took so long to bring to market. Also, it's rather hard to really cater to the MID market with the battery life #'s they're sporting right now. Lincroft is designed specifically for the handheld device segment, with other different chips for Nettop/Netbook's and other segments. Because it's focused towards only the MID/smartphone segment, and has huge gains in power effincy, I think the time to market may come down. *shrug* “Don’t expect too much information about Moorestown this week though as Intel have already stated that the next announcements are to come at the Spring IDF in 2009.
