Intel demonstrated the first smartphone running the Moorestown processor during the keynote at the CES tonight. The LG GW990 was demonstrated on-stage running Moblin for the OS. The phone was able to easily handle complex multi-tasking, and was very responsive.

Moblin is an interesting choice for a smartphone OS, and could be the dark horse in that area. Smartphones are small computers, and what better way to handle them than with a computing OS. The GW990 will be out later this year.
