Yesterday, at IDF San Francisco, Intel has just winning Apple’s computer business. Now, Intel seems giving its tendency to provide the better device than iPhone and its descendants. At the ongoing Intel Developer Forum, the giant of chipmaker has surprisingly leaking some future technology.

Anand Chandrasekhar, an Intel’s senior vice president and general manager of the Ultra Mobility Group, has announced to the press that Intel will concentrate on the development of the Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) & Ultra Mobile PCs (UMPCs) device categories. Moreover, he believes that the future will bring to the commercial customers to an ultra portable device that will have a massive touch sensitive screen.

Intel to Provide Better iPhone-like Mobile Internet Devices

At that time (IDF), Intel was introducing the slim silver non-iPhone device that based on the Moorestown platform, which is the successor of the Menlow UMPC platform that built around the Silverthorne CPU due in middle of 2008. The Moorestown processor will hit the market in 2009 or 2010. Moreover, Intel described that the Moorestown will be used as the chip of Intel’s iPhone-like device.

Intel is planning to reinvent the iPhone concept in 2008, it seems that Intel will provide better iPhone-like device to commercial customers. The goal to use Moorestown is to provide a device, which is low in consuming power. Moorestown claimed to be 10 times more efficient in consuming power for its processing. Moorestown would be a system on a chip that included a 45nm core, graphics and memory controller on a single die.

Intel Focusing on Multi-Core Technology and Low Power Device

According to Anand, multi-core is also part of the MID’s future. Moreover, he said that the Internet is not going any fewer complexes. The Internet is getting more complexes, more dynamic. Yet, all the devices that will provide by Intel will meet the best combination of power, cost and performance usages, and the trends will continue to grow in multi-core technology.

Intel will take a major step to provide it first new platform that designed from ground up for MIDs and UMPCs under the codenamed Menlow. However, UMPC will continue to feature larger screens, QWERTY keypads, and will in most cases use Windows based operating systems. Anand believes that Moorestown will increase battery life and order of magnitude by reducing idle power by 10x compared to Menlow.
