History
The Booklet 3G is Nokia's first netbook. The company produced a series of personal computers in the 1980s called MikroMikko, but sold that business in 1991 to focus on mobile phone production.[4] Though Kai Öistämö, Nokia's executive vice-president for devices,[4] has said the Booklet is "a natural evolution for us,"[5] Stephen Williams from The New York Times says it is "more of a homecoming" because of Nokia's prior computer business.[5] Nokia's expansion into the netbook market is contrary to computer maker Apple's 2007 expansion into the phone market with their iPhone.[4][6]
Nokia announced the device in August 2009.[7] The price was announced to be €575 before tax,[2] making it one of the higher-priced netbooks available.[6][5]
Design and technology
While Nokia describes the Booklet 3G as a "mini laptop", it is widely described as a netbook.[8] It is 2 centimetres (0.79 in) thick and weighs 1.25 kilograms (2.8 lb),[4] is cased in an aluminum shell,[7] and has been said to resemble a MacBook.[8] Its glossy display measures 10.1 inches (260 mm) diagonally, and supports high-definition video.
The Booklet uses an Intel Atom Z530 processor[9] to run the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system. Nokia says that the battery will last up to 12 hours per charge.[7] The Booklet supports network connections through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G/HSPA.[7] It also offers telecommunications support via SIM card,[10] has a built-in A-GPS receiver and accelerometer, and includes Nokia's Ovi Maps service.[7][5][8]
