Intel Atoms domination in Netbook market is unquestionable.The chip conglomerate seems to be having significant strategic plans for the smartphone market too.Availability of Moorestown system on a chip and Moblin operating system is confirmed inorder to give an edge in Market domination.

Also its necessary to know the definition of Soc(System on a chip).Various technologically improved functionalities found on a computer motherboard has been compacted into one single chip reducing space and power consumption, an important factor in design of mobile devices.The Moorestown platform is a System on Chip armed with 45nm Atom processor and equips graphics and video encoder/decoder.

Connectivity supports third generation HSDPA,Wifi,Global Positioning System,Bluetooth,WiMax and Mobile TV.Intel is also planning to license third generation HSPA technolgy from Nokia and involve itself in the development of open source telephony solution known as oFono that would be integrated in Linux variants Maemo and Moblin(developed by Intel specifically for Atom processors).Intel is also involved with LG for the evolution of technology upon Mobile Internet Device run by Moorestown and Moblin.At the end of the day Intel presented the new Moblin user Interface meant for multitasking allowing users to perform zone organisation and the drag function.Rumours are that the interface can run the popular Linux desktop environment application GNOME.
