They are dominant in the hardware industry, and presumably they’d like to expand their business. But why move into Web-App Mashups – a space already inhabited by other bigger (and frankly better) players on the web?

I’m confused by this move out of them and frankly I think expanding their line of hardware (notebooks and PCs under their own brand name) might be a better next step than venturing senselessly into software.

There’s been some interesting activity in this space. We (Orchestr8) have had an in-browser mashup tool (AlchemyPoint) available for over a year now, offering widgets, content scraping, and all the other capabilities you’d expect in any versatile browser-based mashup platform. I’m interested in what Intel’s plans for MashMaker are. Is this moving towards a commercial product of some kind, or will it remain a research tool?
