Nokia has finally put speculation to rest with the introduction of its first ever netbook dubbed as the Booklet 3G. On announcing the device, Kai Oistamo, Nokia’s Executive Vice President for Devices today said “Nokia Booklet 3G is a natural evolution for us” and I couldn’t agree more. The netbook will try to extend the reach of Nokia’s Ovi services from smartphones to wider range of devices like netbooks. The Ovi Suite will help to sync user’s Nokia phone to the Booklet; integrated A-GPS will work with Ovi Maps; and will also be able to download audio tracks from Nokia Music Store.
The aesthetics aren’t disappointing too, which comes in an all aluminum chassis, measures just over 2cm in thickness and weighs 1.25kg. Other features include Intel Atom processor, 10-inch display, Windows OS (mostly Win7), 3G/HSPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI-out and 12 hours of battery life.
Detailed specifications, pricing and availability will be announced at the Nokia World next month.
Looks sleek. It was only a matter of time before Nokia started making notebooks.
