More specs on the Nokia Booklet 3G revealed
More information on the specifications of the Nokia 3G broadband laptop, the Nokia Booklet 3G, have been revealed and we just can’t help but feel that it is a great effort from Nokia.
The netbook was first unveiled last week and, not too surprisingly, it was subject to a lot of ‘ooh’s and ‘aah’s in the tech – world over the fact that it has integrated A-GPS and HDMI, meaning that HD video output was possible, something that you won’t always find in netbooks.
