Nokia launches mini laptop, Booklet 3G
24 Aug 2009
Mumbai: After 25 years as a pioneer and leader in the mobile industry, Nokia is diversifying into laptops, with its rich mobility heritage and knowledge to the PC world with the new, Windows-based, Nokia Booklet 3G.
Powered by the Intel Atom processor, the Nokia Booklet 3G delivers up to 12 hours of battery life, enabling people to leave their power cable behind and still be connected and productive.
Delivering the capabilities of a full-function PC inside an ultra-portable aluminum chassis, the new mini-laptop weighs 1.25 kilograms, measures slightly more than two centimeters thin, and has the features one would expect from the world's leading mobile device manufacturer.
A broad range of connectivity options - including 3G / HSPA and Wi-Fi - gives consumers high-speed access to the internet, including Nokia's broad suite of Ovi services, and allows them to make the most of every moment and every opportunity.
"A growing number of people want the computing power of a PC with the full benefits of mobility," says Kai Oistamo, Nokia's executive vice president for devices.
Oistamo says, "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."
