Intel's Atom To Ship In Over 35 Tablets Next Year

Posted by timothy on from the new-warmness dept.

nateman1352 writes with a bit from TechSpot: "Intel has been trying to cut itself a slice of the mobile market for years, and it seems the company is finally making some headway. During a conference yesterday, Intel CEO Paul Otellini revealed that the company's Atom platform will ship in over 35 tablets starting early next year. The chipmaker has partnered with more than a dozen manufacturers who will launch slates running Windows [or] Android as well as Intel's own MeeGo operating system." The article lists Toshiba, Dell, Fujitsu, Lenovo, Asus, AT&T, Cisco, and Acer as developing Atom-based tablets.

    At least SOMEONE realistically estimates their tablet sales prospects against Apple. Yes, I do think they'll be able to sell 35 of them or so. Maybe 40, if they drop the price.

    It's ARMdroids, you insensitive clod!

    And next year's media campaign:

    "We ARM the world
    We ARM the children
    We ARM the ones who make a brighter day
    So let's start switching
    There's a choice we're making
    Getting Wintel out of our lives
    It's true we'll make a better day
    Just wait and seeeeeeeeee.
