Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) Ready to Implement Tablet Strategy

Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:INTC) is finally mounting a challenge in the tablet space, and they're ready to enter it in a big way in 2011, as they've reportedly signed agreements with 35 tablet makers to put their chips in them.

Chief Executive Officer Paul Otellini said that even though Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has a big lead at this time, he expects to overtake them and be the No. 1 company in the space.

Companies Intel has made agreements with include Lenovo, Toshiba and Dell (Nasdaq:DELL).

Analysts see a long road to climb in the mobile processor segment for Intel because they're so late to the game.

Tablets with Intel chips in them will be available sometime in the first half of 2011.
