It makes sense for Intel, because they want to get into the mobile market, which is totally controlled by ARM. So getting Nokia's platform to be not only ARM- but also Atom-compatible might get Intel a chance of entry.
I guess it technically makes less sense for Nokia. Maybe they just need Intel's money, to be able to keep up with the pace of Android development.
- andrewtj 17y agoFor Nokia, I don't think it's anything to do with Android (in the narrow sense) and is about far more than Intel's money. It seems to me that some years back Nokia took the view that phones are just another computing platform. Taking this view, actions like the Trolltech acquisition, Maemo, the Booklet 3G and this announcement can be seen as one cohesive movement towards Nokia offering the full computing stack.
