At Mobile World Congress, Softtalkblog caught up with Renée James, senior vice president and general manager of the Software and Services Group for Intel Corporation.

In its two-page white paper announcing the new user experience (PDF), Intel argues that operating systems, from the [...]Intel’s running a great competition (terms and conditions), with the prize being a chance to attend an exclusive event in London in May with a parallel programming expert as guest speaker, and free food and drinks. Intel will even take care of your transport and accommodation if necessary. Most importantly, there will be a chance [...]When I was digging around to research the Intel Media SDK for yesterday’s blog post, I came across this short video advert that Intel’s produced to highlight the benefits of using the kit.
