“On Tuesday of this week, Intel announced record financial
results–a good sign that fortunes are improving in the technology
industry, and possibly in Silicon Valley. Historically, when Intel
has done very well, given the fact that its chips and technologies

done well. On its earnings call, though, another interesting bit of
news came out: Intel President and Chief Executive Paul Otellini
confirmed that Intel is working with Google’s Honeycomb 3.0 version
of the Android mobile OS, with an eye toward enabling tablet
devices that run it. As we’ve reported, Honeycomb is in development
with only select partners of Google at this point, but the fact
that Intel is on top of it bodes well for Honeycomb and tablets.
