Further uniting the Internet with mobile phones and computers, Intel Corporation and Nokia 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.
Taking advantage of each company's expertise as leaders in their respective fields, these future standards-based devices will marry the best features and capabilities of the computing and communications worlds and will transform the user experience, bringing incredible mobile applications and always on, always connected wireless Internet access in a user-friendly pocketable form factor.
The Intel and Nokia effort includes collaboration in several open
source mobile Linux software projects. Hosted by the Linux Foundation,
Moblin is an optimized open source Linux operating system project that
delivers visually rich Internet media experiences on Intel® Atom™
processor-based devices including MIDs, netbooks, nettops, in-vehicle
infotainment (IVI), and embedded systems. Maemo is a Linux operating
system, mostly based on open source code and powers mobile computers
such as the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet. The Maemo platform has been
developed by Nokia in collaboration with many open source projects.
Intel will also acquire a Nokia HSPA/3G modem IP license for use in
future products. Intel will also acquire a Nokia HSPA/3G modem IP
license for use in future products. Intel and Nokia have signed an
agreement that will enable Intel to license Nokia's HSPA/3G modem
technologies with the aim of developing advanced mobile computing
solutions that deliver a powerful and flexible computing experience –
combining the best-in-class 3GPP modem technology with the high
performance and low power consumption of future Intel
Architecture-based platforms.
