• Native x86 Android runtime will enable Android apps on Windows: This sounds kindof goofy, but I could maybe see the point of this if you treat Android applications as desktop widgets.

• Intel exec throws fuel on the "Intel to fab Apple chips" rumor fire: I never thought I would live in a world where Intel fabs Apple-designed CPUs. But after reading Jon Stokes' analysis, such a future certainly seems possible.

• HTC Pays Microsoft $5 Per Android Phone, Says Citi: It's an analyst report, so take it with a grain of salt. But if true, it's fairly amazing that Microsoft is able to extract so much money per handset.
