That's not my experience especially once you get into phone type hardware - there's not much complexity difference when gluing things into the system and the fact that it's connected by the board increases the amount of flexibility that has to be coped with. I don't see a substantial difference between the two cases. To be honest I'm a bit concerned about what we're going to see given where ACPI's at as a spec.
