Will we see more technologies in common between mobile and desktop systems?
As the mobile segment grows in size and starts to encroach on desktops, a large part of that growth is replacing desktops. At the moment around 25 percent of clients are notebooks, by 2007 general consensus is between 35 and 40 percent. It's reasonable to expect some convergence to take place, both at the form factor and on the silicon. You get Pentium Extreme Edition in notebooks, and the flip will happen too with mobile chips in desktops. This happens at the edge. That edge will remain in the future. I don't know if that will shrink or grow.
We're betting that whatever happens we can win.

EAP-SIM is definitely the way to go - it's very powerful as a common authenticatio method for the vast array of mobile devices that one will typically carry. However, I thought 2006 would be too long a time frame for Intel.
