TechDew-The World Of Technology

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.

There are so many devices with latest features from Sony available in the market such as mobile, laptop, players etc. Besides, finally Sony starts to ship its Atom Z550 at the speed of 2.0GHz. The model of the device is Vaio P91 and available in Japanese market. It has a 256 GB of SSD. Moreover, it is fashionable and flashy to make a statement wherever you go.

It is available in four different colors and each of them is inspired by the crystalline shimmer of natural gemstones. The price of the device is ¥ 89,800.00 and you can have this device within fifteen days of shipping.
