The new notebook comes with wi-fi, 3G, A-GPS, OVI map, 12-hours battery life and other features. You can check it at Nokia Press.

“A growing number of people want the computing power of a PC with the full benefits of mobility. We are in the business of connecting people and the Nokia Booklet 3G is a natural evolution for us. Nokia has a long and rich heritage in mobility and with the outstanding battery life, premium design and all day, always on connectivity, we will create something quite compelling. In doing so we will make the personal computer more social, more helpful and more personal.” says Kai Oistamo, Executive Vice President for Devices.

While in china, netbook is very hot now with the popularization of China Mobile, I think people all over the world would love it especially those who only want to surfer on the internet. With ongoing rumors about an Apple netbook, it seems Nokia will not wait for one of their biggest competitors. Maybe Nokia has felt the stress from Apple and RIM, even Android. The Q2 reports shows that Nokia is losing their share on the market. Netbook would be a new area to Nokia to make profit.

So will Apple, RIM or Google give some response this year? Anyway, I like the Booklet 3G video very much though I don't like a netbook!

Seems Nokia will use Windows 7 for their Booklet 3G, you can try our Win7 on your N97 to feel the Nokia netbook first.
