Nokia this morning announced the Nokia Booklet 3G, the company’s entry into the netbook market. The unit has a 10-inch glass HD-ready display and sports a compact form factor, weighing 1.25 kilograms and a 2 centimeter depth. The feature set is nothing less than impressive. Connectivity options include 3G/HSPA and Wi-Fi, enabling access to the web and Nokia’s Ovi services. The Booklet 3G also includes Bluetooth, an HDMI port for HD video output, a front facing camera, an SD card slot, and integrated assisted GPS. The AGPS chip works with the Ovi Maps gadget, enabling the Booklet 3G to find your exact position within seconds. This particular netbook runs on Windows, but some analysts believe Nokia will release an Android-based model in 2010. I think a Moblin-based model is more likely.
Detailed specifications, pricing and availability information will be announced at the Nokia World conference on September 2.
