S~ Hiro,
I'm with you on the wait-and-see plan. I'd have to read several more tech reviews form other sources, and with Lucid's chip being used on more than one mobo. As for Intel and others getting into the mix, Intel already seems to have a relationship with Lucid. I read that a few months back somewhere:
