Summary: Intel ported Android 2.2 (Froyo) to x86, so they can put it on Atom-using tablets and netbooks. They say it was pretty straightforward, which bodes well for the speedy porting of future releases. They are, of course, making all their changes open-source.

They given up on MeeGo ?

Why? Intel makes money moving chips, and two Atom-capable mobile OSs are better than one.

Does it mean we'll be able to run the Android SDK directly on the netbook and test apps natively instead of using a simulator that takes 10 minutes to boot and is slow like hell?

As the SDK is based on eclipse, I'm not sure the performance boost will be that impressive :)

EDIT: I have nothing against eclipse, I just haven't tried running it on a netbook
