Intel and Nokia announce strategic relationship for Mobile Products
Further uniting the Internet with mobile phones and computers, Intel Corporation and Nokia today announced a long-term relationship to develop a new class of Intel Architecture-based mobile computing device and chipset architectures which will combine the performance of powerful computers with high-bandwidth mobile broadband communications and ubiquitous Internet connectivity. This is clearly big news as it is not every day someone says they are coming up with a new “platform” for mobile products beyond existing smart phones, netbooks and notebook computers. Part of the deal is that Intel can now license Nokia’s 3G HSPA technology, which could conceivably be combined with Intel’s existing PC chipsets.
“This Intel and Nokia collaboration unites and focuses many of the brightest computing and communications minds in the world, and will ultimately deliver open and standards-based technologies, which history shows drive rapid innovation, adoption and consumer choice,” said Anand Chandrasekher, Intel Corporation senior vice president and general manager, Ultra Mobility Group. “With the convergence of the Internet and mobility as the team’s only barrier, I can only imagine the innovation that will come out of our unique relationship with Nokia. The possibilities are endless.”
