All the facts point to the idea that Apple hired Papermaster to help develop new ARM SoCs and other custom silicon for new handheld devices, and perhaps in future Macs.

There may very well be a serious story behind Apple hiring Mister Paperweight, and another possibly different story about why IBM is trying to spoke his wheels. On one side is better and cheaper chips in iPods, on the other side is X-Serve in Data Centres. Which side are you on? Daniel,
