While I personally dislike the idea, I can see that there may be some who want it. If there's a market for it, and if Intel can sell into it profitably, why not? I just worry that Intel is diverting valuable resources from the projects that will make the $$$.
Easily solved with a 64/128 GB SSD and or a detachable form-factor.
Expensive!
I don't see why we have to argue about a wider choice in form factors and OS?
By all means, let the designs come. Anything that can get Intel selling more silicon makes me happy. I would just prefer that Intel also be able to fight in the pure Android space.
