Intel will acquire the use of HSPA/3G modem IP for use in future
products, while Nokia appears to be planning a foray into the Mobile
Internet Device (MIDs) market. Jason Hiner of TechRepublic
thinks that getting back into the MID market would be a mistake for
Nokia, given its recent discontinuation of the Nokia N800/N810 Internet
Tablet.
Details are scant overall, though. Jack Gold, founder and principal
analyst of J.Gold Associates, thinks that this strategic relationship
is a win-win for both Intel and Nokia. In addition, he said that the
marketplace will benefit, as this will allow for "more capable wireless
devices to make their way to market in the next couple of years."
