It is unclear if this will effect Ubuntu Mobile's use of maemo's Hildon framework. I hope they don't do too much to stray from the established base of talented Nokia Internet Tablet developers. The goal SHOULD be to have more applications available on more devices with less development time required. Whenever any company decides to "do their own thing," that goes against the goal.

Why?? They dump the most popular distro to build a better community? And they drop deb in favor of rpm??
Something else seems to be at play here.
Great idea !
So now ... with a high priced device, device eating battery, and now an other distrib doesn't supporting deb, with a lesser community so less developpers, so less applications, this will make some real place for concurrent and real mobile device as the n810
Good news!
Finally someone started to take care of those of us who use RPM-based distros, such as Fedora.
Hope we'll have maemo devkit repackaged to RPM one day as well.
This is really silly, why would Intel do that?
Ubuntu is putting a lot of steam behind their mobile & embedded efforts. The community is certainly going to grow over the next while.
I'd like to hear more about this and get some details on Intel's reasoning. Red Hat really only caters to the blind corporations so this may have just been a case of prestige winning out.
...This is something that will backfire on Intel once Ubuntu steamrolls this vertical with their popularity.
