Intel's in the tricky position of playing Android iteration [catch-up](http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/24/intel-posts-x86-friendly-android-4-0-image/) -- but it's getting better at it. Releases are now appearing every six months, with the latest release of Android (4.2.2) now Intel-optimized -- at least at a pre-alpha stage. The company's Open Source Technology Center devs have been working on the Android Open-Source Project to ensure it works well on Intel-powered devices, whether that's PCs for debugging and testing or those still-rare Intel smartphones. Now powered by the Linux 3.8 kernel, there's a new interactive installer, plus the new ability to dual-boot on a Windows 8 system. So it's all good news for developers, but it should drip down to more immediate updates on the likes of Motorola's [RAZR i](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/04/motorola-razr-i-review/) and any future Android hardware Intel's [planning to power](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/25/intel-launches-dual-core-clover-trail-mobile-atom-processors/).
