Earlier there have been quite a few rumors about Nokia entering the Netbook market but until now, the debate was nothing more than a piece of wind-talk. However, this morning Nokia announced that it will soon be shipping a new product which it calls as the Nokia Booklet 3G and from what it looks like, its more than just a Netbook.
Interestingly! Nokia itself is hesitating to brand this machine as a Netbook and goes on by calling it as a mini-laptop. Though we definitely would like to support Nokia on this as this device is more powerful and efficient than a regular netbook, even though it bears the guts of an Intel Atom processor which is now a standard for Netbook devices.
Below are some of the detailed features of the Nokia Booklet 3G.
- Intel Atom Processor on the back-end.
- A Windows-based machine running Windows 7.
- Glass display of 10.1 inches with HD display.
- Battery life up to 12-hours.
- Integrated 3G wireless and WiFi.
- A-GPS, webcam, Bluetooth and SD card reader.
So basically you can think of it as something between a smartphone and a laptop, but still its impressive.
No word yet on the price and availability of the device but I guess we will be seeing more of it at Nokia World 09 on September 2nd, along with the detailed specifications and probably even a preview.
