In my opinion, one major stumbling block for a large scale adoption of non-x86 architectures might be missing support by Adobe's proprietary Flash-plugin. It might be wise for Intel's competitors to support one of the free alternatives and push further development in that field.

Why do you believe that Adobe's proprietary Flash-plugin is not available for ARM?

TI Omap (i.e. ARM) based Nokia internet tablets which run on top of Linux
have had Flashplayer since the first tablet product[1], so I don't think
this to be much of a problem.
