Later Nokia Windows Phones – the company is planning to release 12 Windows Phone devices over the course of 2012 – will run on future versions of the U8500, said Bozotti.

Wow... love the sounds of this chip, the only thing I don't see there that is probably not really an issue, I don't see that it supports SSD's, I am sure that it probably does. (it would be stupid if it didn't)

Next gen phones (Apollo) need to come with at least 64GB SSD IMO.
