And considering this is a full blown x86 setup.... My point is will Intel deliver?! well true, but devices like we’ve seen so far could get at least 6-8hrs at load even with the slim profiles.

Personally, I think with the demo of multiple functional hardware, the moorestown platform should be on the cover on PopSci's next issue as the next biggest invention on the decade; the Atom SoC was. Not only has Moorestown invaded ARM's long guarded territory but it has beat the power reduction predictions of techies and even Intel itself (50x standby vs. 10x). I think Intel needs to take publicity seriously and maybe even consider creating a PR/Publicity team for it's ultramobile sector. As a consumer, moorestown-based devices have been on the top of my list for a while. We all know about Qualcom's Snapdragon and Nvidia's Tegra, almost anyone who reads up at umpcportal can recite the strong points of these chips and back them up with news articles of device demos. Snapdragon has become a household term that when asked many would wish their next smartphone snapdragon-based. For me the biggest highlight the familiarity of the x86 platform. No need to be stuck with the same OS that ships with your smartphone. Don't be limited to Android, Ubuntu ARM edition, Windows CE, Windows 7 or other Linux distros. Run any one OS, even dual boot or install multiple OS. Buy single copies/licenses of your favorite applications, and install the same applications on your desktop and smartphone. Dock your smartphone with your desktop/laptop so when you log off your desktop/laptop and pick up your smartphone it'll be like your windows vista or windows 7 based desktop only with a smaller screen and keyboard; same apps, files, look and GUI. My suggestion is this; Intel should talk about the Moorestown platform more as a smartphone platform and not as a MID, UMPC or PC in your pocket. Even though Qualcom's and Nvidia's offerings will both have longer battery lives than Intel's (1-3hrs difference) all three are now in the same category.
