Intel Atom on your Smartphone?

I just could not imagine having a mobile phone powered by an Intel Atom. Can you imagine that? I don't think I can. It is something which is too far fetch but it is not impossible. I don't think so. The technology is well advanced nowdays so it is not impossible to see that such technology will be trasferred from a netbook to a mobile phone. Don't you think it will be great? You will have smaller motherboards, increased in efficiency and the best of all, increased in battery life even with bluetooth and 3G switched on?

Right now, it is really impossible for a smartphone to last for a day with constant use of wi-fi and bluetooth on a PDA. While we have the infamous SnapDragon cpu rated at 1Ghz, it consumes a lot of power. Look at Toshiba TG01 for example. It has a 4.1" screen and it does not last more than a day if you keep on using bluetooth and also wi-fi throughout the day. I am waiting to see whether it is impossible for us to have a more efficient battery for future mobile phones packed with nice features like usb 3.0. It will be a good start, don't you think so?
