As for the Turion threat, consider AMD's highest end MT sku, 1.8GHz. The Pentium M low end starts at 1.7GHz, and goes up to 2.26GHz. Even if you are optimistic and hope that AMD's 35W cores can compete perfectly fine with Pentium M, then we are still talking a top end sku of 2.0GHz for the Turion ML.

You are comparing the Q3 PM lineup to the Q1 Turion lineup!

(Why am I not surprised?)

The ML-40 (2.2GHz 35W) Turion arrives in a month or two (already on display at CeBIT), along with the MT-37 (2.0GHz 25W).

In Q3, the quarter in which the 2.26GHz PM appears, the ML-42 (2.4GHz 35W) and MT-40 (2.2GHz 25W) arrive.
