NEW YORK (AP) -- Nokia Corp., the world's largest maker of cell
phones, says its first laptop for the U.S. market will cost $300
with a two-year wireless broadband contract from AT&T Inc.
The Finnish company is broadening its product portfolio as
cellular broadband access is spreading to more devices. Some
wireless carriers, such as AT&T and Verizon Wireless, sell small
laptops known as "netbooks," subsidizing the price in exchange for
two-year contracts.
Nokia's netbook, the Booklet 3G, will run Microsoft Corp.'s
Windows 7 software, have a 10-inch screen and weigh 2.8 pounds. It
will be sold at Best Buy Inc. stores and online.
Orders can be placed now, and delivery is expected by mid-
November.
