And as we reported yesterday, Intel isn’t planning to compete with Apple TV and Google’s streaming services by simply providing slightly better offerings. It actually wants to fix what’s wrong with those services and hardware with a different approach for its set top box.
And while there might not be a reveal at CES like everyone is hoping, sources claim that limited beta testing will begin as soon as March. So we can probably expect some kind of official announcement or acknowledgement of what Intel has been working on in the coming months. [GIGAOM]
