"In its favor, Option has a 20-year head start on Nokia in the technology" Actually not true. Nokia has made PCMCIA data cards in the past. I have had some of them myself.

Intel (and Nokia) Inside >> Intel Improves Intel Centrino Mobile Technology Computing News home.nestor.minsk.by Intel has revealed some details of its next-generation Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology platform that will enable laptops to operate faster and with enhanced wireless communication capabilities. At the heart of the platform, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor will deliver greater performance and power saving capabilities. Intel has also announced a unique interoperability program for upcoming 802.11n products, designed to ensure fast and seamless communications with a variety of Wi-Fi access points. The improvements are designed to take Intel Centrino mobile technology to the next level. Intel has revealed some details of its next-generation Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology platform that will enable laptops to operate faster and with enhanced wireless communication capabilities. At the heart of the platform, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor will deliver greater performance and power saving capabilities. Intel has also announced a unique interoperability program for upcoming 802.11n products, designed to ensure fast and seamless communications with a variety of Wi-Fi access points. The improvements are designed to take Intel Centrino mobile technology to the next level. The next generation Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology platform, scheduled for introduction in the first half of next year, will improve upon the Intel Core 2 Duo processor by offering new power saving capabilities in the central processing unit and a faster front-side bus from 667Mhz up to 800Mhz, enabling greater energy-efficient performance. New capabilities, such as longer residency in Enhanced Deeper Sleep low-power state and Dynamic Front Side Bus Switching, will help manage average power while delivering more performance. The platform will contain a new Wi-Fi solution that will be compliant with the emerging 802.11n specification. To ensure optimal user experience with this solution before the 802.11n specification is officially approved, Intel has created an 802.11n interoperability program, working with leading access point vendors – including Buffalo, D-Link, Linksys and Netgear – to perform interoperability, performance, range and stability testing. Additionally, Intel, in collaboration with Nokia, will deliver integrated wireless broadband connectivity products utilizing Nokia's leading edge 3G technology for upcoming Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology platforms. This will further expand connectivity options for laptop users with the broad availability of 3G networks. The next-generation Intel Centrino mobile technology platform will add many of the Intel vPro technology capabilities available today on business desktop PCs. Wireless Intel Active Management Technology will help to improve a company's information technology efficiency, asset management, system security and availability, ultimately lowering total cost of ownership. The new systems will also include Intel's innovative flash memory-based accelerator, enabling systems to resume productivity from hibernation and run multiple applications up to two times faster, save 0.4 watts of power in the hard drive, and boot faster. In addition, Intel will revamp its chipset with a new integrated graphics core, offering new levels of richness, realism, life-like effects and high-definition playback. << >> IDF Surprise Threesome Intel hops into bed with Nokia and Yahoo! Tony Dennis The Inquirer 28 September 2006 theinquirer.net One of the biggest surprises to come out of a briefing on mobility here at IDF given by Intel's Dadi Perlmutter, was Intel's choice of new technology partners: Nokia and Yahoo! It appears that, somewhat begrudgingly, Intel has recognised that it needs to offer 3G cellular connectivity in addition to WiMax. And that connectivity extends to 3.5G – or more specifically to HSDPA (sometimes known as Superfast 3G). So, as Perlmutter admitted during question time, the obvious candidate for supplying Intel with a HSDPA capability was Nokia. From the demos, it looked liked Nokia had merely supplied Intel with a mini PCI express card. But the obvious intention is for Nokia to make and supply an 'embedded' module which Intel can then supply to its own customerbase. What raised serious interest amongst the assembled hacks was the predicted rate of take-up for the HSDPA module amongst OEM and ODM partners. Initially Perlmutter claimed that he expected the 'attach' rate to reach around 10 per cent of total notebook sales – rising to 15 to 20 per cent in 'certain geographies', which was a clear reference to Europe. However, Perlmutter was pushed hard on the subject by several hacks and was forced to give an 'overall' figure of a 10 per cent attach rate across the board for 2008. The Nokia deal mysteriously overshadowed an announcement from Yahoo! that it has created 'Go for UMPC' especially for Intel. It turns out that this product must have been the mysterious GUI for the Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) that Intel's Mooly Eden had previously alluded to. Intended as a way of putting an 'internet experience' onto a device as small as a UMPC, Yahoo!'s Go for UMPC was distinctly under-whelming in its demo. µ << - Eric -
