Looks like a bunch of eyecandy to me. I don't really see much that's useful there. Not to mention the fact that they said it was made for "Intel" processors. That means that there would be a lot of stuff that we would have to change to make it compatible with ARM. I don't see any benefit in using this.

Well, it'd launch the Pandora outside of the hobbyist market and into mainstream usage if Moblin was an option. It looks a lot easier to use than the current incarnation of E17 shown in the latest video, and probably has more immediate usefulness to most people than a desktop DE on a DS-sized device.
As for ARM support, Moblin was designed for MIDs first and foremost, and, despite the sponsorship by Intel, the Linux Foundation will want to get this thing on as amny MIDs as possible - this includes ARM processors.
