Intel Corp (INTC)

[Unkwn]

Be happy Intel got chips out there, and their foot in the OEM's doors... But don't cheer about pretend revenue...

Yep, you got it. It's about getting a foot into the ecosystem. Intel's tablet share is necessary to get a broader support by the OEM's and app developers for Android. Once Intel is able to deliver a better product than the ARM competition (price vs. performance vs. features), which I think they will soon, whereas you think they won't, they'll have all connections ready needed to flood the market. That's what they are after and we all know that. We'll see if Intel succeeds this way but frankly, I don't care about those billions flushed down the toilet (as you might call it) when Intel finally succeeds here. The actual prize to win is smartphones, not tablets (but tablets are good to keep ARM out of the PC business, which Bay Trail nicely did).
