A Nokia netbook is in the works, Nokia‘s CEO has confirmed, ending months of speculation that the mobile giant could be entering the netbook market.
Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo has finally broken silence on the subject of a Nokia netbook, admitting, “we are looking very actively [at] this opportunity,” when asked if Nokia has plans to enter the laptop business.
So, a Nokia netbook is on the cards then, taking what Nokia does best in the mobile arena – cheap, powerful operating systems, tiny technology and net connectivity, and wading in to battle with the likes of the Asus Eee PC range with its own Nokia netbook.
The move isn’t perhaps so surprising: many expected Nokia to debut a Nokia netbook at Mobile World Congress earlier this month, especially after it started dabbling in home control and entertainment. There are no firm details yet, let alone specs, but with the head honcho confirming a Nokia netbook is in the works, we’ll be keeping a close eye on it.
