Intel Readies Push into Mobile Internet Devices

,----[ Quote ]
| The jabs stopped and Intel publicly backed off its comments. But the episode
| is a reminder of Intel's larger ambitions for handheld computers and mobile
| phones, and how those plans could put it at loggerheads with some longtime
| partners. Intel, the world's largest chipmaker, is readying new chips and a
| version of the open-source Linux operating system specially designed to run a
| new class of "mobile Internet devices," or MIDs. Consumers could use the
| devices to play high-definition video, make Internet-powered phone calls, or
| download directions and local business listings on the go. The effort could
| presage an attempt by Intel to land its products in pocket-size smartphones,
| a category where Apple (AAPL) has sold 17.4 million units.
