I remember there was a story where Intel said their mobile chips were better than what Apple used in the iPhone and Apple forced them to publicly retract the statement. I can't seem to Google it up right now.<p>ah got it: <a href="http://betanews.com/2008/10/24/intel-retracts-inappropriate-statements-about-arm-iphone/" rel="nofollow">http://betanews.com/2008/10/24/intel-retracts-inappropriate-...</a><p><i>"The shortcomings of the iPhone have come from ARM," Kedia was quoted by ZDNet Australia as saying. "Any sort of application that requires any horsepower at all, and the iPhone struggles...If you want to run full Internet, you're going to have to run an Intel-based architecture."</i><p>then, shortly after:<p><i>"As general manager of the Group responsible for Intel's ultra-mobility products, [Chandrasekher] acknowledged that Intel's low-power Atom processor does not yet match the battery life characteristics of the ARM processor in a phone form factor; and, that while Intel does have plans on the books to get us to be competitive in the ultra low power domain, we are not there as yet. Secondly, Apple's iPhone offering is an extremely innovative product that enables new and exciting market opportunities. The statements made in Taiwan were inappropriate, and Intel representatives should not have been commenting on specific customer designs."</i>
