Well they did say
"select premium phones". I think this is the real deal.
All phones should be x86 in the future, it's the only way to get compatibility with desktops and laptops.
It's the only real way to have a pc in your pocket.
Software ports are not interesting, they're just inconvenient.
If samsung and apple and the others could've gotten their hands on the x86 patents (they can't because only intel and amd have access to them) then they would've never had to reinvent the wheel and start over from scratch software wise with this ios/android shit to begin with.
Instead what we know as android phones would just be running some form of google made linux build instead, and for apple phone users the shit on their laptops and macs would also run on their phones.
If ms aren't retarded they'll figure out that their way into the phone market will be x86 phones that run the same software (not ports, the same executables, and all of it,not just MS shit but third party stuff too) that people are already using on their laptops and desktops.
And once the hardware and battery is up for it the phone will be an actual desktop/laptop replacement for non power users/gamers.
And then people will carry their computer, hard drive and data with them in their pocket (phone) or as wearable technology ;and instead of having laptops/desktops/htpcs you'll just have dumb displays in the house (and in coffee shops and cafes and libraries and whereever) to fill whatever specific need you have at the moment (big living room display for video content, office room medium display+ k/m for productivity and work, bedroom display for entertainment etc)
Google will either have to do the same (or somehow make android replace windows and linux on laptops and desktops (and that is not going to happen for many different reasons)
I wish a court with some foresight would have forced intel to license their x86 patents to all these phone manufacturers back in 2008 or 2010 or so. Things would be a lot less backwards today.
