We recently mentioned that Nokia may be looking into the netbook market. Well, that's no longer a rumor. Nokia has just launched a netbook - the Nokia Booklet 3G - which will be a "full-function" personal computer with high-speed mobile Internet access capability. Nokia's new netbook will run on the Windows OS.
Sagging prices and increased competition within the last few months has prompted Nokia to think of new ways to gain more customers and bring in company profits.
Nokia thinks it can do this by introducing a new netbook to compete with high-end phones offered by other companies and exploit increased consumer demand for mobile computing technology.
According to Kai Oistamo, Nokia's Executive Vice President for Devices, "A growing number of people want the computing power of a personal computer with the full benefits of mobility."
It's just what we were talking about before with portability and performance. Nokia thinks it can bring such a product to the market. What do you think?
