IDF: From the show floor
In San Francisco, Intel has thrown open the conference doors again for its semi-annual jamboree of speeches and showcases for hardware makers — the Intel Developer Forum. It's a key event for the chipmaker as it tries to get partners and developers to buy into its next generation of technology.
For the three days of IDF, James B, our ZDNet Blogger at Large, has been posting dispatches from the show floor, giving the techie's-eye view of what's going on. Our own Rupert Goodwins has also been blogging regularly, backing up the full lineup of reports, videos and photos from the show.
