Wait — Intel is doing what?

Written By: Michael Flint

Yes, I’m still on the innovation kick – but this time, with feeling. I just attended the Mobile Internet World in Boston and had the pleasure of listening to Anand Chandrasekher’s keynote. I don’t know what’s more impressive — the underlying messages that wireless technology, personalized online experiences, and innovative usability are the fates of the future, or that Intel is behind this. This clip is about way more than just new technology, which we know Intel is good at. Heck – even Apple uses their chips.

This video serves as a tease, or a dare for the telecom companies to get their networks up to the task, while Intel and others beef up the processing power of our handheld devices (note I didn’t say phones.)

Who needs a pushbutton kitchen? I want a bluetooth one. Ready, set….. go.
