We all know, Nokia never marketed their N series line up for something less than mobile computers. But again as the mobile manufacturing market saturates, there was a need from Nokia to shift its focus to something more than just mobiles. Loads and loads of services, i.e. Ovi store, Ovi Share , Nokia Music , Nokia maps etc indeed hint the transition. We all know that a mobile phone can never actually replace a laptop , no matter how much you market it as a mobile computer. Nokia’s mobile phone share in the market keeps swinging between 35 to 40 percent and overall Smartphone share is somewhere static around 40%. This does not mean that the company is not growing, but it did indicate that the time is right to set up the focus on various other untouched areas, and Nokia Booklet has actually evolved from that.
Nokia has undergone a very smooth transition from a Mobile manufacturing company to a mobile Services company and now to mobile netbook manufacturing company. Mobile market is very dynamic , and I don’t think its an easy task for Nokia now to actually manufacture devices , which can all of a sudden boost its overall share in the market.
Nokia booklet is amazingly beautiful netbook, its really got looks and style and will surely rock the netbook segment with true mobility. Nokia’s marketing team is the best compared to any other company in the world, and with every successful viral campaign, they end up creating such a great hype about the device. The only thing I await for is the price. Netbook segment is not at all over priced , and I hope Nokia is able to maintain the same resistance.
With the Booklet 3G Nokia is also looking at delivering a superior Ovi experience out of the box, complete with a Ovi Maps widget that pin points your location within seconds and the other Ovi services such as Files, Music and Sync.
Below are the specification of the Nokia Booklet 3g which surely will make your want one :
- Intel Atom Chipset (Z530 running at 1.6 Ghz). No fan, which means near silent running.
- 120 GB hard disk
- 3G / HSDPA and WiFi connectivity, plus integrated Bluetooth for local wireless communication
- 12 hour battery life
- 19.9 mm thick x 264 mm width x 185 mm depth
- 10.1 inch glass HD ready display
- Front facing video camera mounted, on top of the screen, for video calling
- 1 x HDMI port (for HD video out), 1 x integarted SD card reader, 3 x USB ports, 1 x audio port , 1 sim card slot.
- Integrated A-GPS
- Stereo speakers mounted on the front right and left corners.
I am really excited about the overall response Nokia has got regarding the debut in the netbook segment. Its really a calculated move and I am sure the success will be on Nokia’s side. Pictures and Video below :
