Nokia Plans to Ship Its First Netbooks

Nokia, the world’s leading manufacturer of mobile phones and smartphones, is expected to make its debut in the netbook market by decided to launch its first netbook in the third quarter of 2009. According to a recent news article on Digitimes, Nokia is expected to begin talks with Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) for the development of its first netbook device.

The article cites the Chinese-language “Economic Daily News” (EDN), according to which the negotiations between ECS and Nokia are expected to begin later this quarter, which could suggest that Nokia’s netbook system could become available by the end of this year.

So, this means that although the Nokia is launching its own netbook, but it won’t be making it on their own. Nokia is not all that new in the PC world. Back in the eighties, Nokia produced personal computers by the name of MikroMikko. owever, Nokia’s foray into the market for personal computer systems could come as a much required change, providing users with some configuration differences and a new way to understand the computing experience. Unfortunately, at this time we have no specific details as to how Nokia’s machine will look like.
