Intel, Nokia and Nokia Siemens announced an interoperability agreement that will eventually see Intel's WiMAX chips embedded into Nokia devices to ensure interoperability across Nokia Siemens' infrastructure, Nokia's handsets and Intel-backed devices.
Nokia will use Intel's Baxter Peak mobility chipset in its N Series Internet Tablets, the ultra-portable computer line Nokia currently powers with WiFi and the first WiMAX handheld Nokia plans to ship in 2008.
