Intel disavows Atom-powered Apple tablet comment

Thursday, May 15, 2008 - 01:06 PM EST

"Intel Corp. today is scurrying to clean up a mess made by Germany's ZDNet on Wednesday when it reported that an Intel exec had confirmed the ongoing development of a iPhone-like tablet at Apple, a report which the chipmaker now claims is patently false," AppleInsider reports.

"Specifically, ZDNet reported that Intel Germany chief Hannes Schwaderer at a small gathering in Munich 'confirmed' the existence of a larger iPhone at Apple that would employ one of Intel's ultra-mobile Atom processors," AppleInsider reports.

"No Intel exec has said anything about any future Apple product, Atom processor or otherwise," an Intel spokesperson told AppleInsider. "I think that’s important to note as everyone speculates on future products from Apple."

"Since ZDNet's original report hit the net, a couple of other publications on hand for Schwaderer's presentation have offered their interpretation of the events, which also appear to suggest that ZDNet's report was misleading," AppleInsider reports.

More in the full article, in which AppleInsider maintains that "Apple is working on a iPhone-like mini tablet reminiscent of the Newton MessagePad," here.

Hope spins into rumor because the analysts, bound in orbit around the nucleus of Apple's development machine are charged with creating news of some sort, whether positive or negative.

Like Obama, I vote "present"
Information hubs, like portals, are diminishing
and desperate to be first with the latest on the most popular or influential. Personally, I do not think CNET is worth what CBS paid for it. Like ZDNET, they are diminishing.

Another fine piece of reporting by ZDNet. Some lucky reporter will be covering the use of iPods by panda bears in their next assignment. (Note: They're not cuddly up close.)

Atomic-powered Macs? And here I thought they went with Intel to be more energy-efficient.

Intel Legal is not as efficient as Apple Legal.

Atomic power is more efficient than the fossil fuels that Microsoft seem to use.
