Re: Nokia Booklet 3G
 

Stylish aluminum casing with slight Nokiaesque bulk (correction: at less than an inch thick the thickness is merely a visual illusion due to the straight edges); hopefully run-of-the-mill innards which would more or less guarantee Linux-compatibility; unappeasingly huge bezel (looks like an inch at the top and bottom, and almost half an inch on the sides; would fit an 1366x768 11.6" display with ease in think). There's a headset plug but where's the mic plug? (hopefully not another proprietary Nokia mic/headset combo plug??)

Nokia Booklet 3G? Nice brand, but where do they go from here? 3GS?

Dell (Mini 11z), HP (Mini 5101) and others will be tough to beat in the volume game. Samsung is likewise offering (as usual) multiple fairly competitive netbook models, with a recent cheaper Linux/FreeDOS edition of NC10, titled ND10, now available in the People's Republic of China.

Even telecoms have branded netbooks available these days, direct from 2nd tier Taiwanese ODMs.

Still, it's about time Nokia takes the likes of Samsung (and soon Apple) head on in the non-phone markets, although they can still screw it all up by over-charging and under-delivering.

Windows-only?? Get your Microsoft Windows Tax refund forms ready...

Who will be the first to port debian to it?

I dunno... what was all that talk about Maemo being a vertical OS or something :D

Re: Nokia's Netbook
 

I don't know about everyone, but for a netbook/laptop of that size I sure like to type a lot of text, so having a full physical keyboard there is a good thing.

Have you guys ever tried to type something longer than a sentence with a +10" touch screen, with a large virtual keyboard? (Like in the Windows XP Tablet edition.) I have. It is p-a-i-n-f-u-l.

Re: Nokia's Netbook
 

Who's talking about keyboard?

Re: Nokia's Netbook
 

I haven't seen anyone complaining about the device's size.

We're talking about the _software_ that's a COMPLETE disappointment.

Without Maemo or Ubuntu, this device is an EPIC FAIL, in my opinion.

Re: Nokia's Netbook
 

If they can actually get 12 hours battery life out of an Atom (supposedly the next generation Atom?), I'll take an Atom. May not be as sexy as an ARM CPU, but 12 hours is 12 hours.

But ... Windows? unforgivable.
