Intel has been banging on about “smart TVs” for donkey’s years, but it seems it may actually be ready to put its rather huge sums of money where its mouth is, in a new joint venture with Taiwanese giant Chunghwa Telecom Co.

A report claiming Intel is closing down its WiMax Program Office in Taiwan has caused a bit of an online storm in a teacup, with some dramatically pointing to the event as a sure sign Intel is distancing itself from WiMax, while the firm laughs off such allegations.

Last Friday, Far EasTone Telecommunications’ (FET) board announced its intention to acquire 100% of fixed-line affiliate New Century InfoComm Tech (NCIC). FET plans to spend up to NT$20.815 billion (US$646.8 million) to acquire the remaining 73.6% of NCIC that it does not already own.

Telecommunications leaders from China and Taiwan met in Beijing on Wednesday and agreed to jointly standardize on Android, WiMax, and TD-LTE (Time-Division Long Term Evolution) among other accords.

Intel certainly doesn’t want to be left sitting on the bench when it comes to the tablet game, and used the recent Computex expo in Taiwan to show what skills it brought to the table.

Taiwanese phone maker HTC has splashed out $13.2 million for Paris based mobile software company Abaxia which specializes in portals, search apps and idle screen usage.

Now that the frenzied craziness that is Computex Taipei is done and dusted for another year, we can all take a step back and take a look at some of this year’s winners and losers.

After an explosive day zero at Computex Taipei on Monday, day two had much to live up to - but didn’t disappoint. Here are a few snippets from today’s show.

Powered by the latest Android OS, the A10 is “the perfect combination” of phone and GPS; or so claims Asus.

Dell's little five inch Streak "tablet" has been the talk of the town since Michael Dell himself pulled it out of his pants pocket at the Citrix Synergy conference in San Francisco last month, but here in 'Ole Taipei, RCR managed to get a quick hands on demo with the device to see what all the fuss is about.

Most frequent flyers are used to frequent and inordinate data roaming bills, but if you happen to be heading to Computex in Taiwan next week, that might not necessarily have to be the case.
