This can prove very useful as Both Google and Intel will be benefited if the tie up happens.

In the long run, Google can beat smartphone running other operating systems by using Atom powered Android operating systems.

But it will not be the first time Android will be running on Atom chips, before it had test drive in Acer Netbooks or in Nokia’s Booklet 3G and with upcoming LG GW990 smartphone that is yet to be released as a first Atom run Android smartphone, only this time Intel’s General Manager Renee James officially announced Atom as Android ready chip, capable of running Android tasks smoothly and efficiently.
