I was trying to find that thread!

(I had to google image search :()

Re: Nokia ARM based netbook with Maemo
 

As I confirmed before, a division of Foxconn is already making netbooks for Nokia. That is readily-available public knowledge. Now, whether that involves the heavily-discussed Booklet or some other model is not for me to say.

It is also public knowledge that Foxconn built CDMA phones for Nokia for 2 years. It is further public knowledge that this was for Verizon, who is developing a 4G infrastructure based on LTE in the US.

My analysis: there are dots to be connected here. ;)

Re: Nokia ARM based netbook with Maemo
 

dots? more like a continually moving anthill ;)

Re: Nokia ARM based netbook with Maemo
 

That might help explain why the Nokia-designed netbook is only preloaded with Microsoft OS. Despite Nokia already collaborating with Canonical by basing Maemo on Ubuntu...

Interestingly Foxconn seems to be one of those ultra-opportunistic corporations which thrive under the unique Chinese blend of "crony-communism" and western corporatism by being against anything free and open.

They're also making sure that the artsy Apple clientele gets their labour-union-free gadgets without Apple needing to lower its profit margins.

Well, hopefully this second netbook will be a convertible tablet :-}

Re: Nokia ARM based netbook with Maemo
 

I'd like something like the new Sharp NetWalker, with a swivel screen (=tablet) and Bluetooth...

Re: Nokia ARM based netbook with Maemo
 

For a netbook, I'd like something bigger than a 5" screen though (re: Sharp NetWalker). I'd prefer a 8"-10" for a netbook.

But a convertible-tablet/swivel-screen version of the Sharp NetWalker, 5" screen and all, but otherwise like an N900 (phone, 3G, Maemo5) ... that I'd buy :-)

Re: Nokia ARM based netbook with Maemo
 

Nokia is working on something with Maemo (+Moblin), but my understanding was that Intel Linux OS Moblin runs on ARM processors... or it runs only on Atom?
