CES 2014: Intel abandons smartphones, focuses on wearable computing and tablets
2014-01-07 15:36:44| Extremetech
Intel has delivered its keynote at CES 2014, and rather refreshingly the presentation focused almost entirely on wearable and perceptual computing. After years of struggling with the ultrabook moniker and trying to squeeze its way into the smartphone market, it seems Intel is finally ready to lead from the front and create new markets, rather than milk existing markets dry. It's far from confirmed, but we would not be surprised if this was the end of Intel's smartphone aspirations. With Intel's launch of Dual OS devices that run Android and Windows on the same chip, it hasn't given up on mobile entirely -- but there's still a very long road ahead of Intel if it wants to break into the tablet market in a significant way.
