The Nokia Booklet 3G comes with built in A-GPS functionality. Because of this, it can take advantage of the Windows Sensor and Location Platform which means your PC and programs can know where they are for "location aware" computing. With built in 3G/HSPA capabilities, it will also utilize Windows 7's mobile broadband enhancements. The Nokia Booklet 3G + Windows 7 is an exciting combination!"</em></p><p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="600" height="360" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fIHWM4liM2g&ap=%26fmt=18" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fIHWM4liM2g&ap=%26fmt=18"></embed></object></p><p>Chris posted about the <a href="http://www.digitalhomethoughts.com/news/show/94934/nokia-wants-a-piece-of-the-netbook-pie.html" target="_blank">Nokia Booklet 3G recently</a>, but today after reading <a href="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/2009/09/02/the-nokia-booklet-3g-windows-7-awesome-mobility.aspx" target="_blank">Brandon's post</a> I'm more interested than before. Why? Six reasons: 12 hour battery life (16 cell, 56.8 Wh, Li-Ion prismatic, removable design), a single piece of machined aluminum for the body, running Windows 7, no fans, glass screen, and an HDMI port. <a href="http://conversations.nokia.com/2009/09/02/more-nokia-booklet-3g-specs-emerge-at-nokia-world-09/" target="_blank">The full specs are here</a>. It doesn't bother me that it's going to be more expensive than most other netbooks - it this thing measures up to the specs on paper, I might pick one up.</p>
