Nokia's Booklet 3G Netbook [GADGETS]

I'm guessing this is where the next wave telecommunication technology will be heading...shelf life for things get smaller and smaller as we've just launched internet sticks, and up next is the laptop that allows you to simply insert your sim-card to onnect to the internet and GPS (see video)...excited? I am! I'd expect Rogers, Bell, Telus will be offering up renditions of this sort of thing very soon.

The news from Stuttgart just keeps on flowing, with Nokia also revealing the unashamedly long specifications list to its hotly-anticipated Booklet 3G. Moving forward, the company will focus on "phones, smartphones and mobile computers," with this here netbook being the first major entrant into that final category. The biggest news is probably the half-day (12 hours) battery life, though we're understandably curious to see how that holds up under real-world testing. The machine will also ship with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 CPU, Windows 7, WiFi and a built-in, hot-swappable SIM card slot for 3G access.
