With the market for netbooks growing ever more lucrative, Nokia is keeping a sharp eye on it. There have been various rumors about Nokia's intentions in the netbook market, and the CEO of the company, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, said that company is currently exploring it.
According to Kallasvuo, "The PC and the mobile will continue to come closer and merge. A lot of opportunity can be seen in this converged area. We at Nokia [are] actively looking at this converged market. … We are looking at the netbook market to see what kind of opportunity there is."
In their recent netbook ventures, Nokia has been rumored to partner with various companies. The company has been rumored to partner with Compal Electronics and Foxconn Electronics on creating the design of a netbook. There is also a rumor that Nokia is working on an Android-based netbook that will be powered by the Google Android platform.
