Android 2.2 to Get x86 Love This Summer

Some of you may remember when Intel introduced the Moorestown chipset that they mentioned that they were including Android compatibility. Apparently, they’ve decided to go a bit farther than that.

In a recent interview with APC, a senior VP at Intel by the name of Renee James insinuated that Intel will be releasing a naively x86 version of Android 2.2, thus enabling Android to run natively on a computer setup, such as laptops and networks. The other really big draw here with this news is the ease with which a power house Android tablet could be pushed out, possibly rocking an Atom processor.

Just speculation, of course, but hey…a writer can dream, right?
