This is why I think Google deciding to help Intel get into the mobile game was a poor strategic decision on Google's part. If Intel becomes a strong player in the mobile market, who do you think will benefit the most from it? Google? No. Microsoft. Because then they can get back to using x86 chips, while Google's doesn't gain much of anything, since competition in the ARM market was already strong enough, and Intel was far from "necessary". Unless, Google's plan is to get Android on more x86 (older) machines, once the OS matures a bit more, and become a real OS choice for people using Windows today. But we'll see if that's their real plan, and if it is, how it will go. Until then I still think Google's decision to help Intel take over the mobile market (if that's even possible at this point) will turn out to be a very bad decision for Android's future, as it will allow Windows a backdoor to get back on track. Google should realize that hurting Intel means hurting Microsoft.
