An alliance that seems doomed from the very beginning, Nokia is opening its doors to Apple in an effort to entice the Job’s empire into joining the Finnish company in its latest endeavor. Anssi Vanjoki, a Nokia board member, has boldly gone on record to say that the “door is open” for Apple to join them in Ovi, their online multimedia-centric portal which delivers content direct to consumers handsets.
There’s no doubt that the inclusion of iTunes will be a great asset to Nokia with its comprehensive collection of music and videos, but with Nokia rivaling iTunes at the same time with its own music store, I wonder how they will manage such a collaboration. Add to the mix the Apple-directed ads of Nokia in the past, this has the makings of one turbulent relationship right from the get go if it ever does materialize.
But hey, this is business, so I guess anything’s possible.

in my own opinion no need for alliance there must be healthy competition for each company, each company must give their best for the good of the consumer, if there is competition and healthy business war the consumer and the people will really benefit these company will not think of any control or manipulation or what ever intent not for the good of the consumer because they know the competitor will always be there to think how to beat each other and would always think for the betterment of the consuming public no one owns the ball game because its the consumer who control of the business ballgame all the time ! thanks and bye bye !

I don't think they collaborate on making hardware, but mainly focus on providing a comprehensive collection of music for an online music store. However, these are all rumors for now and to b quite honest, I don't think it will push through anyway. :)
