Tony Smith writes that according to Intel’s product roadmap, its next-generation netbook-centric mobile Atom processor, codenamed “Pineview,” won’t be available until mid-Q4.

“So far, it was believed that the part would debut mid-2009, probably early in Q3, but Pineview appears to have slipped a quarter and a half, if a roadmap posted by Japanese-language site PCWatch is to be believed. Pineview is expected to contain its own memory controller and graphics core. The latter’s said to be a 200MHz version of the 133MHz GMA 950 core that’s currently found in Atom-based netbooks.”

Carlo Longino provides some perspective on the issue of videoconferencing solutions as they relate to the current economic recession.

“ It’s worth wondering if a prolonged recession could finally give these travel-replacement technologies the boost they’ve long been looking for, and supplant business travel, rather than just add to it, as they have largely done thus far.”
