A close to apples-to-apples comparison is in order:

The OMAP3 is _roughly_ clock-for-clock comparable in performance to the Celeron in the original eeePC. The later on eeePC's up the speed by about half again and increase the battery life by about a factor of 2 with the Atom based designs for comparison. While the Atom is going to be slightly faster clock-for-clock, it's power consumption is still way too high.

The original eeePC manages roughly 3-3.5 hourse on a 49 watt-hour battery.
The equivalent OMAP3 design manages roughly 10 hours on a 13.5 watt-hour battery.

Both devices running Linux, both devices managing the same task at the same rate.

Moorestown doesn't fare much better. It's power consumption for performance is still entirely too high- and this is against this year's crop of Cortex-A8 designs. Cortex-A9 devices are expected to show up Q1-Q2 of next year- and the story's about 2-4 times faster with nearly the same power consumption as the A8 cores.

Once the google's android hit the mail market with lot of applications, windows mobile will be dead.

And the best thing is Google android is open source.

If every big vaporware announcement in mobile industry had any basis in reality, Wintel should have already ruled this market by now. Unfortunately, nothing gets anywhere beyond PR. For years.

So now it's Moorsetown that will do the trick? With x86 architecture, that suddenly, somehow will make ARM based chips obsolete for mobile? And convince cellphone vendors to suddenly drop TI OMAP, Qualcomm and other chipsets that they have already product roadmapped until at least 2012, to switch to an unproven startup, even if it is an 800lb gorrilla in some other market? I'll believe it when I see it.

Yep, I've heard that LG is in bed with MSFT. Something about hundreds programmers flown by MSFT to work in Seoul. And that official announcement about 20 WinMo phones that LG will ship soon. Sounds impressive.

Unfortunately I have some past LG record with smartphones to look into. LG Symbian handsets? They are shameful. LG WinMo, they are only just embarrassing. LG Incite, KS20? Wow!

So if you combine three uber losers in the market, no matter how successful they are elsewhere, do you get a winner?

“Windows Mobile is dead. Long live Mobile Windows”. Hey, Intel Moorestown will drop somewhere in early 2010; with a x86 chip on cellphones, it's a no-brainer punching a telephony module on Windows and launching a Mobile Windows. No industry tiers required to say this, only brains, especially for those that remember all the Windows CE/Mobile story

And Mobile Windows is that's why LG is betting the farm on Windows (what Eldar calls “doesn't grasp industry trends”) – we already know that LG will use Moorestown: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-10164367-64.html . I see a Microsoft-Intel-LG cellphone still in 2010.

Apple Internet Tablet in 2011? Apple iPad is THE buzz on US tech coverage. The only “inside” there is Eldar's claim that iPad will be 1 year late.

For Samsung Linux? I couldn't resist remembering Motorola's EZX and MOTOMAGX – Linux-based closed platforms from a major player that flopped. Unless, obviosly, the Koreans are planning to buy Palm or ACCESS.

Regarding new M8000 Symbian phone, I knew that it existed as part of Cubic family (Samsung Jet, Omnia II). But, according to Eldar it has been cancelled. We'll see soon if that's true

However there are some interesting developments going on, pointing in which direction the mobile industry is moving. I think Android is at this moment only the beginning of what we can expect from devices in the next five years. iPhone won't be a trendsetter, but un class aparte: manufacturers will look less and less to iPhone for inspiration in terms of interface and hardware.

Just my 2 cents..
