Nvidia has announced the introduction of a new line of processors that they are aiming towards integrated devices. So-called “System on a Chip” units, under various names, offer an easier way to get lots of functionality in a small space. Nvidia's APX 2500 “Application Processor” will be designed to process high-definition video in very small environments, particularly mobiles like smartphones and PDAs.
The unit is capable of playing back 720p content and relies on a heavily modified GeForce core that uses very little power, claiming 10 hours of HD video playback, though that of course all depends on the device as a whole that it goes into. Nvidia mentions strong ties with Microsoft in development of the APX 2500, meaning it is likely it'll be centered around the Windows Mobile platform as well.

you quoted it wrong, wich doesn't really matter since the actual quote that's used is also an misquote/incompletequote.
either way your tiny screen may not need it, BUT what about when you can hook up that mobile device to any hi-def TV and watch your movies, or show of you're home made movies o friends and such at their place.
or the fact that even if you watch SDmovies on the small screen, this chip is designed to decode movies efficiently with very little resources, meaning you can watch more movies on the handheld device without running out of power. 720 is just the max it can decide, but not necessarily what it'll be used for mainly, but handy to have nonetheless.
that'll happen when amd-ati starts dominating over intel, until then intel won't bother. nvidia isn't cheap company
Intel's corporate culture would clash with Nvidia's, bringing them to an untimely demise.
