Future versions of Android will be optimized for Intel starting next year

Intel

Google's Andy Rubin was on hand today at Intel’s Developer Forum to announce some interesting news regarding the future of Android and the hardware which it will run on. As such, Intel Corporation and Google Inc. have now confirmed they will be continuing their efforts together to have Android running on Intel chips -- more specifically, Intel's low-powered Atom processor line.

"Combining Android with Intel's low power smartphone roadmap opens up more opportunity for innovation and choice," said Andy Rubin, Senior Vice President of Mobile at Google. "This collaboration will drive the Android ecosystem forward."

To show just how serious they were about this partnership, they also showed off an Android phone and tablet powered by Intel's Atom based Medfield SoC. No definitive word on when we can expect this type of hardware in our hands but Intel's roadmap has Medfield powered phones slated for early 2012 and tablets cannot be that far behind. Full press release is past the break.
