Samsung's Windows 8 demo tablet could still use Intel chips
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftIntelWindows 8
Samsung's Windows 8 reference tablet due at Microsoft's Build conference next week might still be using Intel processors. A new slip late Friday maintained that, in spite of its slim and possibly quad-core design pointing to ARM, "at least one version" would still have the familiar x86 architecture would still be in place. The CNET tip hesitated to say it wouldn't be shown with ARM and left the door open to both being on display.
The design might be given out to developers at Build but isn't expected to translate into a shipping product for the public as-is. Samsung might adapt it or use it as the foundation for a shipping product when Windows 8 is ready in mid-2012.

Intel to throw in the towel on MeeGo, another one bites the dust
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsIntelNOKIAMeeGo
After webOS got on the backburner, now MeeGo is receiving a fatal blow with Intel freezing its development efforts citing lack of partner interest. When Nokia announced it will go the Windows Phone way, Intel vouched to keep MeeGo thriving on its own, but the market obviously had other intentions.
Nokia N9, running MeeGo Harmattan, is actually a quite innovative handset, which proves the potential of MeeGo, but in the cutthroat mobile industry there is just very little space for more operating systems. Android, iOS and Windows Phone are the triad that analysts say will take over, with Samsung's bada OS and RIM having their special places as well.
Intel will focus on what it does best, instea...

Intel gives discounts to get sped-up, Core-based Chromebooks
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksOperating SystemsIntelGoogleChromium OS
Google Chromebooks will soon get a big speed upgrade in return for a slight discount, insiders claimed Wednesday. The Chrome OS hardware will reportedly go to Core i3 and beyond processors and, to make the price balance work, will get a 10 to 20 percent discount from Intel on the chips. Existing partners Acer and Samsung were reported by Digitimes as onboard and might be joined by ASUS and others as soon as early 2012.
The upgrade would come as a tacit admission that Chromebooks weren't necessarily working in their current price field. Although they cost $50 to $100 more than a netbook, they don't really have better performance, insiders said. The two systems out so far also supposedly have ...

Intel keeps MeeGo alive, Atom-powered Ice Cream Sandwich device due Q1 2012?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsIntelNOKIAMeeGo
Nokia's N9 might have received generally warm reception, but the company's CEO has explicitly said that even if the device is successful, the Finns will ditch the platform in favor of Windows Phone, but even in the current light of events, Intel remains MeeGo's biggest loyalist. It has reiterated plans to continue working on the system with plans laid out through the second quarter of 2012, according to market watchers quoted by DigiTimes.
Intel plans to leverage its insight from PCs to MeeGo-running netbooks and tablets, but the company's plans are even broader as Meego version 1.3 comes with support for smart TVs, car infotainment and multimedia phones in the last quarter of 2011.
