Intel chief Paul Otellini revealed the company's plans to develop a version of Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) designed to run on its x86 architecture.
"We've received the Android code the Honeycomb version of Android source code from Google, and we're actively doing the port on that," Otellini said during Intel's conference call on Tuesday.
Otellini added that Intel is working with "first-tier notebook vendors" in order to deliver tablets with Atom chips and running a range of operating systems including Android 3.0, Windows and MeeGo before the end of 2011.
Otellini also underlined Intel's plans to bring Atom chips in smartphones in about a year. "We remain committed to success in the smartphone segment and we're actively working with a large number of handset manufacturers and carriers around the world on Medfield-based designs which I think is still the first 32 nanometer phone apps processor in the industry."
