Nokia N95 goes high-speed for U.S.: Inks deal with Intel for WiMax chips

Nokia Corp.’s N95-the Finnish company’s flagship “multimedia computing device”-will soon be available in the United States with HSDPA, assisted GPS, and increased screen size, memory and battery life.
The device will now offer up to 8 GB of memory, a number that may sound familiar to wireless industry observers.
The device will also offer SlingPlayer Mobile for the Symbian operating system, which the company asserted would allow “a train, hotel, street corner or almost anyplace else to the next best thing to a home theater experience.”
The new N95 is selling at a suggested retail price of $700 at Nokia flagship stores in New York and Chicago, online and through wireless and consumer electronics retailers in major markets, according to the company.
In other Nokia-related news, Intel Corp. announced yesterday that it had won a mobile WiMax chip order from the Finnish company, which will use Intel’s semiconductors in Internet tablets beginning next year.
