Intel-powered Android Smartphone Headed to Orange
Meet the Santa Clara, Europe's first Intel-powered Android.
This past year at CES, Intel made quite a splash when it unveiled the first Intel-powered smartphone. Since then we've heard surprisingly little about Intel's plans for the smartphone market. However, just because the company has been staying relatively quiet about its smartphone plans, that doesn't mean it's been resting on its laurels. This past weekend at Mobile World Congress, European wireless carrier Orange confirmed that Europe was to get its first Intel-powered Android device in the form of the Santa Clara.
The Santa Clara packs that all-important Atom Z2460 1.6GHz processor, a 4-inch (600x1024) display, an 8-megapixel camera (1080p video and burst capture of up to 10 shots a second), HSPA speeds of 21.1Mbps down and 5.6Mbps up, HDMI-out, and NFC. Orange says that the phone will be aggressively priced when it does launch this coming summer. However, the name probably won't stick. 'Santa Clara' was billed as a codename only and we imagine Orange will have something a little catchier by the time the summer rolls around.

the atom is x86

I'll give it 2 weeks and someone will have Window XP running on it
Battery life is the question. Though from what i read on AnandTech, it wasn't so bad.
Oh I hope modders find a way to install Windows 7 on it.. Lol..
Better yet Windows 8, it's designed for touch devices right..?
Fixed: where AMD goes Intel will follow since the K8
You're right. AMD has been quite about the mobile market. I'm hoping they blow it all out of the water with a Llano based ARM processor and they're just waiting to announce that they have one coming this summer.
