The union aims to create a "new mobile platform beyond today's smartphones, notebooks and netbooks". Can Intel and Nokia live up to this promise? It seems as if they can - they have the technology and knowledge, judging by the products that they are currently providing.
What the main goal of this union between Intel and Nokia could catalyze is a completely new product. A combination of current technologies, such as Ohlhorst.
"For example, how about a mobile device that offers what Amazon's kindle can do, while incorporating some iPhone features and running Windows Mobile, giving users access to thousands of Windows applications? Give that device a touch screen with handwriting recognition and access to wireless technologies, perhaps creating a replacement for a multitude of other devices! Sell that unit via wireless carriers and target the consumer and education market and shake-up the cell phone, Kindle, iPhone and netbook markets all at once."
Having one piece of equipment that is light, easy to carry, and that takes care of what many devices now do would be snatched up by the public. It seems that Nokia and Intel have realized this, and aim to capitalize on it. That could mean more advance, cheaper, faster, and sleeker technology, which the public will jump on - remember the craze for the iPhone, which is even now still going strong, judging by their sales with each new model?
I think it is sufficient to say that we will all be watching to see what this new marriage between Intel and Nokia brings to the mobile market.
