And you keep harping about being iPad-like device, when iPad has something Clover Trail doesn't. It's the Apple effect. It'll be an iPad-clone to most people.

I really think you are underestimating the impact of PC-first people, a radical change from last year when you were absolutely down on Tablets.

Nothing right is about Atom that makes it a recipe for success, and I mean success by meaningful impact for Intel. At $20-25 it DAMN has to be big. Apple-big I have to say. It won't happen without Android prices or iOS "Halo". I assume Silvermont-derivatives might make some impact but this year and the next is dead on arrival.

The biggest thing I see with Convertibles when it becomes affordable with battery life and thickness of the slimmest Ultrabooks today so it stops the curious portion of the population looking for Tablets for a secondary device and slow the growth. Ivy Bridge with this year and Windows 8 starts this. Haswell will complete it.

Oh, and I've read reviews about Clover Trail devices too. The Samsung Tablet with S-pen is said to be strangely laggy with Clover Trail but not on the Core.
