At Tuesday’s keynote speech during CES 2012, Intel took to the stage and announced their first ever Intel-powered smartphone, the Lenovo K800. The introduction didn’t go so smoothly – check out the upside-down announcement… – but the demonstrations and stats seem nothing short of phenomenal. Very little was shown on the K800 besides the picture [...]
