Intel, which has always been dominating the computer market, has struggled consistently on its another sector - smartphone. In order to break into the smartphone market, Intel has taken another move with getting helping hands from Google and now Google will be designing Android for Intel chips now.
Android is already established as a number one smartphone operation system worldwide. As per Google Executives, The next version of Android for phones and tablets, called Ice-Cream Sandwich, will debut next month or in November this year.
The partnership will aid Intel in delivering on its promise to finally release smartphones with its technologies by the middle of 2012. On the other hand, Google may benefit from accommodating a company that has significant influence in computers, which is the market Google is struggling to break into with its Chromebook project. The two companies already collaborate on that laptop operating system.
There is no such declaration as which chip will power upcoming Android phones or which manufacturers have agreed to make devices for it. For now, as we know, most smartphones and tablets use chips designed by ARM Holdings, which are popular for their efficiency. But one thing is clear that this collaboration is going to boost both the companies in their future in two different dimensions.
