Intel has added a new product to its Core Duo models, a Ultra Low Voltage CPU labeled U2500 clocked at 1.2GHz with a TDP of 9W!
This CPU is designed for ultra portable notebooks or devices such as Tablet PC, both markets for which Apple does not have products yet.
But Cupertino has all the tools to develop good product: patent on the click-wheel, writing recognition software InkWell, etc.
