Windows-based device packing an Intel Atom processor, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, and Ovi integration.
Nokia has unveiled the Booklet 3G, its long-rumoured netbook. It has a ten-inch display, and is powered by Intel's Atom processor.
Nokia promises 12 hours of battery life, 3G/HSPA data connectivity built in (plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), and access to the Ovi suite of services. That includes the Nokia Music Store, and the Ovi Suite synching tool.
The netbook also has an HDMI port for HD video out, a front-facing camera that will support video calls, and A-GPS - which will be used for an Ovi Maps widget for location-based services.
It'll weigh in at 1.25kg, and will be "Windows-based", although whether that's XP or Vista isn't specified. Nokia says full details will be revealed at its Nokia World conference next week.
"A growing number of people want the computing power of a PC with the full benefits of mobility," says EVP for devices Kai Oistamo, describing the device as a "natural evolution" for Nokia.
