X-bit Labs reports Intel's Anand Chandrasekher revealed a smartphone with the Atom processor. The device was briefly shown at a sales conference last week, but Intel didn't reveal any details about the model of the device or the name of the manufacturer.
Intel Corp. at its sales conference last week reportedly demonstrated a prototype of a smartphone featuring one of its Atom-based system-on-chip (SoC). The demonstration likely involved an early prototype of a handset running code-named Medfield SoC, which is due to be released later this year.

Anand Chandrasekher, vice president and co-general manager of the Intel architecture group showed off a Medfield-based phone at an Intel sales conference, according to a MeeGo developer who attended the event. The demonstrated smartphone was neither big or small; it was also not clear, which operating system the phone utilized.
