Europe's first "Intel Inside"
smartphone has been shown by the telecoms firm Everything Everywhere. The handset is powered by Intel's single-core Atom Z2460 processor and runs with
Google's Android system. It was manufactured by the Chinese firm Gigabyte, but will be marketed under
EE's Orange brand. The launch marks Intel's entry into a market dominated by chips based on
designs by British firm Arm Holdings. It will go on sale on 6 June in the UK - where it will be called San Diego -
and will be released in France shortly after. There has been no announcements
yet for other markets. The handset is the third Intel smartphone, following the launch of
Lava's XOLO X900 in India in April and the Lenovo LePhone K800 in China on
Wednesday. Also Intel has partnered with Google's Motorola Mobility division with
devices scheduled to launch in and after June. It looks like Intel is competing with Facebook in the making of smartphones.
