Steve Jobs becomes Paul Otellini's strategist

According to Channelnews, Paul Otellini CEO of Intel, apparently asked Steve Jobs for his opinion before deciding to aquire Infineon Mobile Division. Steve Jobs was apparently very happy to see Intel get that techonoly that is already in the iPhones.
We have to say that we are surprised, not because Steve Jobs was asked his opinion, but because Otellini confirmed it. It is rare for the CEO of a huge company to admit that he needed to be comforted in his choice. It looks like he needed Steve Jobs' approval to decide over that expensive purchase.
