Fancy a smartphone powered by Intel? Well, Intel did showoff a smartphone powered by their prototype SOC, which is a 32nm Medfield chip, quite some time ago, but it never bear any fruits. Intel blamed the delay onto its partner at that time, which is Nokia.

CEO Paul Otellini mentioned about this Medfield-powered smartphone yet again at their annual investor meeting, saying that “you’ll see the first Intel-based phones in the first part of next year,” and that “phones shipping in the market from major players” at that time. He mentioned that the company is currently shopping around for a co-developer for reference design.

This is what Mr. Otellini had to say about Nokia: “Nokia was the wrong partner to have picked, but the time both companies spent working together won’t be wasted entirely.”

Poor Nokia, being shot in the face.
