I'm wondering whether Intel is really interested in mobile and
tablets, or whether they want, just in case, to be able to migrate
"real" desktops to Android. Clearly, today Android is light years away
from being able to do things of a real desktop (more because of the
lack of serious apps than for architecture deficiencies, I'd say) but
the thing could change.
Further explanation. Intel today lives on Windows and, even though
marginally, on Mac OS X. Microsoft did some big mistake in the past, and
was somewhat forgiven. Their share is still very high. But they could do
another mistake and competition push more and more. Mac OS X (and Linux)
are not much relevant for Intel, I think, and there's always the chance
that Apple in future moves again to another processor (ARM). So, keeping
the "Android desktop" door open could be a good B plan.
PS Of course, I'm thinking of client side. The story on the server side
is different.
