Default Nokia Enters Netbook Arena

http://news.cnet.com/8301-30686_3-1...torsPicksArea.0

"At a press event here Tuesday, Nokia took the wraps off the anticipated Booklet 3G, a Windows 7 Netbook that will run exclusively on AT&T's 3G wireless network. At a subsidized price tag of $299, Nokia has managed to hit the sweet spot in the Netbook market with a high-end device at a bargain price point. Not only will the new Netbook come with Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 7, but it also has a battery that lasts up to 12 hours."

Sure, it looks like a good deal at the subsidized price, but keep in mind that that service will run you $1,440 for two years.  Without the subsidy, it is $599, not what I'd consider a great deal for a netbook.  It is pricing like this from AT&T which makes it doubtful that they'll be supporting unlimited tethering for the iPhone anytime in the near future.
