A report claiming Intel is closing down its WiMax Program Office in Taiwan has caused a bit of an online storm in a teacup, with some dramatically pointing to the event as a sure sign Intel is distancing itself from WiMax, while the firm laughs off such allegations.
Intel seems to have taken yet another surreptitious step towards the world of cellular, snapping up bankrupt Israeli based Comsys Mobile Communication and Signal Processing, a WiMAX/GSM modem chip maker for a reported $30 million.
It was hardly heart stopping news to discover Finnish phone maker Nokia had decided to dump its antiquated Symbian operating system for future high-end smartphones in favour of its sleeker, Linux-based MeeGo mobile OS.

Intel certainly doesn’t want to be left sitting on the bench when it comes to the tablet game, and used the recent Computex expo in Taiwan to show what skills it brought to the table.
Computex Taipei is the not only the place to see current and future trends in the IT industry, but possibly also the place where trends and trendy combine, especially in terms of hi-tech shopping.
The growing surge of mobile devices, as evidenced by the myriad display of smart phones and tablets at Computex 2010, combined with near-glacial pace of battery technology almost ensure ARM chips, with their battery sipping ways, continue to play starring roles in dedicated mobile devices.
The war between x86 and ARM platforms has heated up here at Computex Taipei with various vendors battling it out in a veritable war of words. Interestingly enough, even between x86 makers like Intel and VIA there are differences in perspectives on what is the right platform to use for devices like MIDs and tablets.
Here at Computex 2010 both Asus and MSI have stated their commitment to the clouds, with their future mobile eco-system, including the latest Tablets and Pads, maintaining some lofty co-operation.
Computex 2010, the massive Taipei electronics expo is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, with a slew of new gizmos and gadgets, smartphones and tablets on display.
