Mike MaGeek will love this !! Pretty soon he can post Intel bashes on his Stinquirer web site from his very own Intel-based cell phone/net appliance ! biz.yahoo.com Thursday May 17, 3:10 am Eastern Time Press Release Intel And BT To Collaborate On Mobile Internet Applications and Services AMSTERDAM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 17, 2001--Intel Corporation and British Telecommunications plc's (BT) BTexact Technologies and BT Wireless businesses today announced they will work together to develop applications and services for next-generation mobile Internet devices. The BT businesses also signaled their endorsement of the Intel® Personal Internet Client Architecture (Intel PCA), which is a development blueprint designed to accelerate the delivery of next-generation applications for high-performance, ultra low-power mobile devices combining voice communications and Internet access. As part of the joint effort, the two companies' engineering and research laboratories -- the Intel Architecture Lab (IAL) and BTexact Technologies -- will work together to develop the technological foundations for mobile Internet devices for professionals on the move. The first initiative will focus on an application enabling ``next-generation collaboration'' to allow mobile professionals to easily create electronic working groups that span both location and wireless networks. ``As world leaders in the development of seamless services for both fixed and mobile devices, BT in its collaboration with Intel will not only reduce unit costs, but also stimulate faster service and application development,'' said Mick Reeve, chief technical officer of BTexact Technologies. ``This will simplify the lives of users, who will be able to use their preferred applications, regardless of changes in the type, make and version of their chosen communication device or network access.'' ``Intel and BT are working to enable software and hardware solutions based on an open architecture -- Intel PCA -- for the mobile professional,'' said Ron Smith, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Wireless Communications and Computing Group. ``By working with leading integrated communications solutions providers, such as BT, Intel is accelerating the availability of new applications for next-generation mobile devices.'' Using collaboration technology, mobile professionals will be able to instantly and seamlessly share documents, messages and other rich data types across different types of wireless networks. Collaboration can occur locally using peer-to-peer wireless 802.11b connections, and also be extended to include remote participants using a GPRS wireless network.
