Nokia Reveals Booklet 3G

BERLIN — Mobile phone manufacturer Nokia today revealed its app-friendly computing device.

The Nokia Booklet 3G will run Microsoft Windows software and use an Intel Atom processor. The device includes a 10-inch screen and runs on third-generation mobile and Wi-Fi networks.

The HD-ready device weighs less than three pounds and boasts a 12-hour batter life. Other specs — including its version of Windows and pricing — will be unveiled on Sept. 2 in Stuttgart, Germany.

The booklet is the company’s response to Apple’s tablet mobile device and other smartphones that Nokia has had trouble keeping up with, reports say. Nokia competitively made the announcement just days before Apple is scheduled to hold a media event regarding its tablet device.

The unit will integrate Nokia’s Ovi Internet service that includes cloud storage, synched contacts, mail and media.

In a statement, the company said consumer demand for lightweight devices for mobile broadband inspired the creation.

“The Nokia Booklet 3G is a natural evolution for us,” Kai Oistamo, Nokia executive vice president for devices, said in a statement. “We will create something compelling.”

Nokia first entered the PC market in the early 1980s with its MikroMikko line of PCs. By 1991, the company sold its PC division to International Computers Limited.

Globally, Nokia has a 38 percent share of the cellphone market, according to the International Data Corp.
