Intel has announced it’s plans to port Android 3.0 to their x86 architecture. This will allow hardware vendors to build tablets and other hardware using Google’s open source operating system on Intel chips.
Intel sells a lot of Atom chips and has just invested in a 14nm factory. By enabling Android on their x86 architecture, Intel hopes to increase their mobile hardware sales. Meanwhile, Intel is also working on MeeGo, the OS it started on with Nokia.
