The UMD Market Will Be a Fierce Battleground for x86 and ARM Vendors

UMDs (ultra-mobile devices) are becoming an explosive new market because they have that perfect blend of size and power. UMDs consist of UMPCs, netbooks, and MIDs. Size, shape, portability, and use of these devices will differ, but their commonality lies in the processors and platforms that make these devices what they are. The processor vendors in the UMD market are playing a pivotal role in how this market is shaping up. X86-based processors are well entrenched in the PC world and ARM-based processors are well entrenched in the handset world. Since UMDs sit right between the PCs and handsets in terms of power, size, and function, x86-based and ARM-based processors will both compete in the UMD space and are already fighting it out, starting with marketing wars.
