Internationally I doubt its going to do much at all.
Just as I predicted that no-one would buy a Palm outside the US.
MeeGo might do something but it has two massive backers one with deep pockets the other with 40+% of the market.
Maybe Nokia/Intel might snap up some of that talent?

I suggest Intel head for the handheld gaming console market. There is only Nintendo and Sony to content with, so plenty of room to play and innovate.

...and your opinion is based on your 1st hand impression of MeeGo? If anything I see WinPhone7, RIM and later iOS coming out bruised from this one. Unlike Android and MeeGo these other OSs will be pretty much restricted to a few devices. Also unlike MeeGo, WinPhone7 manufacturers are supposed to be the same ones which used to do WinMo and now do Android - major conflict of direction. Also while iOS has made large short-term gains, for the long-term it is a case of winning the battle and losing the war for them - but thats how Apple strategy works anyways.

I think Nokia's MeeGo strategy keeps making more and more sense but they must execute like there is no tomorrow (and there will be none if they don't). Like I always said they have the long-term done right, but never realized that they needed to bridge the short term. Maybe with Anssi Vanjoki in charge they will do it - 2011-2012 is the year to watch for Nokia and Intel collaboration.]]>Jul 16th 2010 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/intel-snaps-up-former-palm-and-apple-vp-mike-bell-for-its-smartp/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/intel-snaps-up-former-palm-and-apple-vp-mike-bell-for-its-smartp/
Looks like Intel wants in to the smartphone CPU market.

Looks like Google made the right choice with using a VM, if Intel ever produce anything decent, Android phone makers can just pop the new CPUs in, and all the apps will "Just work!".]]>Jul 16th 2010 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/intel-snaps-up-former-palm-and-apple-vp-mike-bell-for-its-smartp/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/intel-snaps-up-former-palm-and-apple-vp-mike-bell-for-its-smartp/

1st they need to port and optimize the VM for the Intel CPUs. I dont think portability as a feature is the big advantage of going with Android especially since the multiple manufacturer UI layers just fragment it on top.

Left Apple in 2007 right after a meeting of top Apple execs and managers revealed Apple's 5-year roadmap, taking that proprietary info to Palm, a major Apple competitor at the time.

Now he's jumping ship to Intel.

Maybe next he'll move to China and work for a knock-off company, producing the ayePhone?
