Atom z600 will be used in phones. Interestingly, this product line uses a 45nm SoC, not 32nm.
Supports Android, Meego, Moblin. Devices expected in a few months.

a five hour battery life for smartphones and 10-12 hours for tablets
Yay, a phone that will need to be tethered to an outlet or laptop!

Kedia gave me the example of a high-end smartphone lasting up to 10 days without needing the user to manually shutdown all its more power hungry connectivity, while a tablet could last for up to 30 days in standby. Furthermore a smartphone could last four to five hours playing back high quality video with a tablet managing 10 - 12 hours. This puts Intel on track with the ARM-based handset sector currently dominated by Qualcomm and its Snapdragon chipset. "It will make us a player in the smartphone sector," confirmed Kedia.
How long does your iPhone play YouTube for before losing charge?

I don't have an iPhone... My crappy phone only needs to be charged once or twice a week.

I have to charge my droid every day. Also, I can't really use it continuously for any extended period of time otherwise it won't last a day.
