At one point at the height of the bubble, Intel was involved in mobile devices.
I worked for a company that developed secure, efficient wireless communication middleware for that space. Our client hardware was mainly Pocket PC and Windows CE at that time.
We partnered with Intel to port our stack to the Linux device they were developing (codenamed "PAWS"). This was around 2000-2001, if I recall.
Thing were going very well, when practically overnight, Intel decided to pull out of this market entirely. They shut down the project and that was that.
It didn't bode very well for that little company; we gambled on this Intel partnership and put a lot of resource into that project in hopes that there would be revenue, of course. Oops!
