Intel and Nokia hope their third time is the charm. After two aborted attempts over the past few years to collaborate on wireless Relevant Products/Services devices, the world's largest computer chipmaker and the No. 1 maker of mobile phones are at it again.This time, Nokia and Intel said they're embarking on a long-term partnership to create mobile products that combine high-performance computing with high-speed wireless communication. As part of the alliance, Nokia will buy Intel chips while Intel licenses Nokia's mobile-phone radio technology.The two also plan to collaborate on the software to be used in the devices, including the Intel-backed Moblin operating system and Nokia's Maemo operating system. Both use versions of Linux, whose source code is shared freely among developers. "Nokia and Intel share a similar technology vision," said Anand Chandrasekher, senior vice-president and general manager of Intel's Ultra Mobility Group.
