Intel-Based Smartphone Unveiled By Orange For UK And France

Europe's first "Intel Inside" smartphone has been unveiled by the telecoms firm Everything Everywhere. The handset is powered by Intel's single-core Atom Z2460 processor and runs 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 announcement as yet for other markets.
