Intel Moorestown tablets will arrive before smartphones, won’t hit for at least six months

Digging all the Moorestown tablets and phones we’ve been seeing at Computex? Yeah, us too, but it looks like we’re still going to be waiting a considerable amount of time for them to hit the market. According to Intel’s Anand Chandrasekher, the first Moorestown devices won’t pop up for at least six to twelve more months. That may be after the end of 2010 mark we had heard before, but let’s hope Intel is using the time to get things just right. Anand also said that the first Moorestown products will be tablets rather than smartphones, the latter arriving sometime in the first half of 2011 — not too surprising given handset manufacturers’ history of designing and optimizing around ARM silicon and the fact that the smartphone flavor of the Intel-friendly MeeGo OS is still in development.
