Making a move to reach the top position for the new smartphones and tablets platform, the hardware giant - Intel is reportedly porting the latest version of Android - Jelly Bean to work on tablets and smartphones powered by Intel's Atom processor. The chip-maker has not given any time-frame for the porting to finish or when it will actually arrive in the devices.
As said by Intel spokesperson, Intel continues to work closely with Google to enable future versions of Android, including Jelly Bean, on our family of low power Atom processors.
Smartphones with Intel processors on-board are currently selling with Gingerbread, although they are expected to get an update to Ice Cream Sandwich in the near future. Indian manufacturer Lava, Lenovo, and European telecom operator Orange are among the top companies to release Intel powered device so-far.
Intel is betting big on Android, as tries to gain market share in smartphone/tablet chips, which are traditionally dominated by ARM architecture.
Intel, the leading chip manufacturers, still dominating laptop and personal computers domain, will must be eying this move to take it to the top in the smartphone/tablet domain as well.
