    Default Nokia's First Laptop noice

    Yes. You read right.


    Nokia rocked the world this morning by introducing its spin on the laptop, called the Booklet 3G. If you're the rude sort (like us) you could call it a fancy netbook, what with its Atom processor and 10.1-inch display, but that screen is higher res than your average Eee, and it also sports integrated 3G wireless and a hot-swappable SIM card, so it's definitely trying to define its own niche. It looks to be running Windows 7, which isn't particularly netbooky, and also has integrated A-GPS with a copy of Ovi Maps, HDMI output, a rated 12 hour battery life, and the usual Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, all in a 2cm (.78 inch), 2.7lb aluminum body that's understated, sophisticated, and should make most Nokia fans very happy -- Nokia fans who are looking for a tiny laptop, anyway. There's a fancy promotional video after the break, and while we don't have any anticipated release date or price just yet, we'll be learning more at Nokia World 09 on September 2. We promise not to make too many Foleo references.

    Looks nice I'll wait to see how the reviews on it turn out and also what the critics think about it but it does look like a nice Netbook, I really don't know why the person who wrote the article is referring to it as a Laptop.

    Yeah it does look nice but as stated I'm waiting on the reviews and also the price 12 hours battery life that like what a 12 cell battery the little bastards aren't cheap.

    Not bad, but I'll stick with the Toshiba line-up for now.

    Netbook with SIM huh? Hot swappable SIMs too. Nice. The gap between smartphones and portable computers continue to narrow...

    Now if it indeed supports US 3G then that would be wonderful...I could use Claro/LIME SIM for even more connectivity when out and about coupled with WiFi.
