Intel to release the oddly named Yolo for Kenyan markets 2

Intel is preparing to launch Africa's first Android device powered by an Intel chip, to be called the Intel Yolo. It will run on their latest Lexington platform, and boasts a 1.2 GHz Atom processor, complete with Intel's signature hyper-threading technology. Aside from that, you'll be getting a 3.5-inch screen, 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB of internal storage, Android 4.0.4, and the increasingly rare micro-SD card slot. It's not impressive even by last year's standards, but it's priced at $125, so it isn't really aimed at competing with an HTC M7 or Galaxy S IV. It'll make a splash in Kenya first, but inevitably end up in a few other markets as time goes on. Anybody planning on picking up a phone called the Yolo?
