I bet a Core 2 Solo kicks the pants off a dual core Atom in most netbook and UMPC apps. Most apps in those categories aren't multi-threaded anyway, and multitasking isn't a primary concern. Plus a Core 2 Solo, from what I've read, uses less power than a dual core Atom would!
Personally I don't see the interest in Atom for these sorts of markets.
