Seems smart to stop going into the smartphone business. With snapdragon and Intel Atom already starting to dominate the arena.
You mean "with Snapdragon and other ARM makers dominating the arena".
Intel has a long way to go before justifying your statement. Heck, Mediatek alone has almost twice Intel's marketshare and growing at least as fast if not faster, never mind Skyworks, Samsung, and other which are difficult for even Qualcomm to compete with.
nah intel's Atom line has seen 400% growth over the past 2 years. They have at least 15 design wins. Look at all the new midrange asus phones, x86 tablets. etc...
Windows phone is about to expload once windows 10 rolls out. When those new smartphones hit the market, we'll see the paradigm shift heavily.
People will be carrying a full desktop pc in their pockets. and mini HDMI ports on phones will become the norm for WP.
can't wait to run command prompt on my phone. so much hacking, so much other tools i wont have to carry. wont even need a laptop anymore.
