ESPOO, Finland, August 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- After more than 25
years as a pioneer and leader in the mobile industry, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) will
bring its rich mobility heritage and knowledge to the PC world with the new,
Windows based, Nokia Booklet 3G.
Powered by the efficient Intel Atom processor, the Nokia Booklet 3G
delivers impressive performance with up to 12 hours of battery life, enabling
people to leave their power cable behind and still be connected and
productive. Delivering the rich experience 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,' said Kai Oistamo, Nokia's Executive Vice
President for Devices. '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.'
The mini-laptop also comes with an HDMI port for HD video out, a front
facing camera for video calling, integrated Bluetooth and an easily
accessible SD card reader. Other premium features include the 10-inch glass
HD ready display and integrated A-GPS which, working with the Ovi Maps
gadget, can pinpoint your position in seconds and open up access for a truly
personal maps experience. The Nokia Booklet 3G also brings a number of other
rich Ovi experiences to life, whether it's access and playback of millions of
tracks through the Nokia Music Store, or using Ovi Suite to sync seamlessly
from your Nokia smartphone, to your mini-laptop, to the cloud.
The Nokia Booklet 3G will widen the Nokia portfolio, satisfying a need in
the operator channel, and bringing another important ingredient in the move
towards becoming a mobile solutions company.
Further information, including detailed specifications, market
availability and pricing, will be announced at Nokia World on September 2.
