Intel’s Otellini says 35 Atom-based tablets coming in 2011, but smartphones get pushed back (again)
It's been a long, hard road for Intel in the mobile space, but it looks like things are about to get brighter: speaking at the Barclay's Capital Global Technology Conference today, CEO Paul Otellini said that some 35 Moorestown tablets running a mix of Windows, Android, and MeeGo would arrive in 2011.

Aava Moorestown phone running MeeGo hits the wilds
If you don't understand the significance of what you're looking at then you're probably not paying attention. First off, that Aava slab of WoW slaying smartphone is underpinned by Intel's Moorestown processor. Yes, Intel, not ARM, as Chipzilla gets serious about taking its silicon mobile.

Aava Mobile’s Intel Moorestown prototype plays World of Warcraft beautifully (video)
Intel has managed to make Moorestown -based phones do an awful lot of things on stage. Multitask, scale photos sans lag, and automatically correct your grammar before it comes out of your mouth

Aava Virta Android reference platform will be the first shipping Moorestown smartphone
Sure, Intel might not be planning for Moorestown -based smartphones to hit the market for at least another six months , and the LG GW990 might have died a quiet death , but that's not stopping Aava from getting right in the game with its Virta Android, an Atom Z600-based reference smartphone designed for developer testing. Slated to ship in Q3, the Virta features a Moorestown processor, a 3.8-inch 864 x 480 capacitive touchscreen, quad-band EDGE radios with AT&T 3G support, WiFi, Bluetooth, a five megapixel video camera, and a microSD slot

Intel demos Android 2.1 on Moorestown smartphone (video)
Intel's barking up all kinds of trees (ones planted by Qualcomm , NVIDIA and ARM ) with its Moorestown Atom platform, and while it'll be quite some time before we see an Atom Inside sticker gracing the face of a smartphone, the company's making sure the world sees what it has ramped up so far with reference builds here in Taipei. Aava Mobile was kind enough to build a number of prototypes for Intel to showcase at Computex , and while the vast majority were running Moblin, a couple were humming along with Android 2.1 underneath. We were able to get our hands around one here at the show, and while performance seemed decent enough, it certainly didn't floor us any more than a 1GHz Snapdragon has in the past.

Intel adds Android to Moorestown compatibility list, wants to Atomize your smartphone
Alright, so this isn't the first time we've seen Android running on the x86 CPU architecture, but it's notable that Intel has ported the OS to run on its Atom CPUs with the specific aim of offering Android plus Atom smartphone combos. Such is the news that has emerged today at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing, which means Intel loyalists will have a second option in the smartphone sphere, beyond the already known Moorestown-powered MeeGo handsets . It would seem that Chipzilla is taking the ARM threat to its home markets seriously, and is launching a counter-offensive in the mobile space.

LG GW990 shows up on video, competes with HTC HD2 for camera’s attention
When people say the smartphone market is growing, they don't usually mean literally, but looking at the massive popularity of HTC's HD2 whopper, and the anticipation surrounding Dell's Mini 5 and LG's GW990 , it's pretty safe to say there is a market for oversized and overpowered (is there such a thing?) handsets. The Moorestown-powered GW990 has made another video appearance, this time showing off its multi-screen functionality and not altogether smooth pinch-to-zoom skills. We're reminded this Mobile Internet Device (a title that's inscribed on its case ) will run Moblin (now known as MeeGo ), before a HD2 is whipped out for a showdown between super-sized smartphones.

Adéu, Barcelona: MWC 2010 draws to a close
For the industry, the press, and phone geeks alike, the GSMA's Mobile World Congress in the lovely Catalonian capital of Barcelona is the biggest event of the year -- and apart from a few unplanned power outages at Engadget's home base, an average nightly rest hovering around three hours, and unseasonably cold weather, 2010's gathering didn't disappoint. Let's take a quick look back at some of the highlights: Windows Phone 7 Series coverage Windows Phone 7 Series: that's the name Live from Microsoft's Windows Phone press event at MWC 2010 Windows Phone 7 Series hands-on and impressions (updated with video) Editorial: Engadget on Windows Phone 7 Series Windows Phone 7 Series: everything you ever wanted to know Liveblogs Live from Samsung's 2010 MWC press event Live from Sony Ericsson's MWC 2010 press conference Live from Nokia's (and Intel's) MWC 2010 press event Live from Microsoft's Windows Phone press event at MWC 2010 Live from HTC's MWC 2010 press event Live from Eric Schmidt's keynote at MWC 2010 Hands-ons Aava Mobile's Intel Moorestown prototype hands-on Acer Liquid e, beTouch E110 / E400, and neoTouch P300 / P400 hands-on Alcatel OT-980 with Android hands-on, we feel frugal just looking at it Bug Labs' BUGbase 2.0 prototype hands-on Chumby prototype with Marvell innards spotted at MWC 2010 Garmin-Asus Nuvifone M10 and A50 hands-on General Mobile's Touch Stone: how can something so wrong be so right?

LG GW990 to be among first MeeGo phones
Intel and Nokia certainly surprised a few of us yesterday when they decided to merge Moblin and Maemo into the new, more terribly-named MeeGo OS , but it looks like LG is ready to roll with it -- the Moorestown-powered LG GW990 we saw at CES will be one of the first MeeGo phones when it launches later this year. Of course, that doesn't mean much of anything beyond branding, since the GW990 uses a custom UI on top of the x86-based Moblin core and we doubt there's any of Maemo's ARM-based code involved there, but it's a definite sign of things to come

Mobile phone display resolution revolution
I still remember that my first mobile phone was a monochrome and with very less pixels. However, the LCD technology really improves a lot. We have lot of variety of mobile phone display resolution rig.
