Intel has for a long time now struggled to break into the mobile and Tablet Market , including Smartphone. But if there were any doubts as to whether or not the company is in it for the long haul, this week’s announcements should put them to rest. Intel finally decided to take the wrap out if its closet and announced its foray into one of the most fiercly fought technology arena . With this Intel will take on Apple, Samsung, RIM and the low cost players HTC and Huawei competitive ,
Intel's announcement at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, has set the stage for Intel to enter both Smartphones and Tablets by getting its chips into everything from inexpensive smartphones to high-end tablets.
