With their funding problems, it seems like they really needed to find a roof and Sun happened to be it for whatever reason. I think Sun is acquiring it to compete with Intel (if that's even possible anymore) rather than build them a mobile phone chip. Also, if they were developing a mobile phone chip for Sun, wouldn't Sun have tried to acquire them a lot earlier considering the phone release schedule? There is still a chance you're right, of course, as Montalvo chip design may turn out to be perfect for cell phones with its small 2nd core and ultra low power usage. I guess we shall see very soon ;) It seems like this rumor (and it's only a rumor for now, isn't it?) has some merit, but it'd be a bit odd if Montalvo was developing a cell phone processor for Sun.
