It looks like Intel and Google are getting together to make Android run on Intel iron. This is an interesting development since Microsoft is also going to make an ARM version of Windows.
Intel has to get into the game because of the booming market for phones and tablets vs. the stagnant market for PCs. Their Atom chip, while wildly popular in netbooks, has never caught on in the mobile market. That is about to change. Atom/Android phones are expected in the first half of 2012.
What I would like to see are x86 phones and tablets with standard architectures that will allow you to run your choice of OS or even a combination of OSes. How about multi-boot with Windows 8, Android and Ubuntu?
I can dream, can't I?
