Intel porting Android to x86 for netbooks and slates

Starting to see the spread of Android beyond the realm of mobile phones…

Google Android is generally aimed at mobile devices with ARM-based processors. But we’ve seen several efforts to bring the software to x86 processors, including the independent Androidx86 project as well as an Acer netbook which dual boots Windows and Google Android.

Now it looks like we could soon see more Android devices with x86 processors. APC Magazine reports that Intel is adapting Google’s open source operating system to run on devices with Intel Atom and other x86-based CPUs.
