It seems Intel would like to shy away from comments made by their German manager yesterday. We saw yesterday a rumor originating from a German language source, that said that Intel had confirmed that a higher resolution iPhone like device would be powered by their new Atom processor. According to Intel however, these were general remarks, about what their new processor “might” ability.

Intel says that the whole mess stemmed from a poor German to English translation of the commentary, posted in a German language version of ZDNet. It is interesting though, that the original exposition we saw posted yesterday from the source, is different

than the one that has been posted now.

“Intel knows nothing by future products of other manufacturers and can therefore by it plus nothing say,” -Mike Cato, Intel Spokesman

Hopefully the quote sounded a lot better in German than the translated version shown here. It is an interesting story, as other sources attending the same event, that heard the German Intel manager speak, did not say he said anything about the iPhone. Others, say they did though. It is a messy rumor, and the only way we are going to know for certain is when WWDC rolls around.
