Apparently Intel liked these developments and announced a few days ago, which is working on adapting (port) of Android 4.1 for low-power Atom processors.
The aim of Intel is obviously allow smartphones and tablets with Atom processors are able to run Google's mobile operating system, allowing design and enhance your product, with much more ease given the popularity of Android. There are no known dates for completion or any prediction of availability of equipment Atom Android 4.1 on the market.
According to a spokesman for Intel, Suzy Greenberg, "Intel continues to work with Google to allow new versions of Android, including the Jelly Bean, the family of Atom processors for low power."
