Intel released a statement of ”correction” Thursday regarding comments one of its big wigs made earlier this week attacking the iPhone as incapable of working with the Internet “correctly”. It’s a rare move for the company, so someone in higher power was none too pleased by the comments.

This is in response to comments made by Intel’s Shane Wall and Pankaj Kedia at the company’s Developer Forum in Taipei.

Among other things, the executives resurrected Intel’s silly argument against ARM that it can’t handle the internet and singled out the iPhone as an example of a smartphone that could be really great…if it only used one of Intel’s low-power x86 architecture processors, or the “Atom”. Nothing like a little slamming of the competition, and in the same breath telling people it could be worth using if it used internals from your own company.

I’d be updating my resume if I were these two guys.
