As the battle between smart phones is heating up for consumers and service providers, another war is under the case. This article from today's NYTimes talks about how chip makers, including Intel, AMD, and others are seeing smartphones as the next big thing, and battling to make headroads into the market. This is very interesting, especially since Apple decided to start manufacturing its own chip for the iPad.
This new widening market will see increased competition, and the results of the new generation of chips will greatly influence the seamless integration between mobile and computing devices. As more entrants battle with the existing manufacturers, the consumers will win, and the division between laptop and phone will shrink, disappearing in the next 5-7 years, if that long.
