I disagree.

Firstly, Intel's binary translator won't help those with MIPS devices.

Secondly, it doesn't work with all apps.  Here's a quote from Intel about the 
binary translator:
"Enables most of the NDK applications to run on Intel Atom platforms ..."

That's a definitive admission that it doesn't always work.  Reviews I have 
read of the Xolo X900 have also confirmed this (I haven't had my hands on one 
yet though).  If your ARM NDK app refuses to run on Intel, I'm not sure how 
you'd go about finding the cause.

As of today I don't see the binary translator as a proven technology.  I 
expect it will improve though.
