| Qualcomm's display of a smartbook prototype in June 2009 was sign of the ARM-based camp's intention to challenge Intel x86-based netbook PCs. To create segmentation with netbook PCs adopting the Intel Atom, Qualcomm has named portable Internet access devices adopting the Snapdragon platform "smartbooks". ARM-based mobile computing platforms focus on embedded 3G modems and low power consumption advantages. However, Windows XP does not support ARM-based smartbooks. Whether ARM-based smartbooks will be able to challenge the x86-oriented netbook PC market will be closely watched. This report examines chip vendors' ARM-based solutions and analyzes the future development of smartbooks. The report will also examine the evolving competition between ARM-based and x86-based portable devices.
