24 Jun 09 Nokia to Launch Atom-Based by Q3 2009?

We can honestly say that we knew this was bound to happen. The minute Intel and Nokia shook hands thinking at the future of mobile devices, people must have started wandering when the first Nokia laptop should arrive. And Nokia is on track with its laptop plans for this year. Together with Intel it will launch an Atom-based netbook sometime in the third quarter of the year, according to the Commercial Times.

The Nokiabook will probably be made by Compal and Quanta, two companies well versed in the netbook-making business. Compal will go even further and create a Qualcomm Snapdragon Nokia smartbook but we don’t have any specific details for any of those future Nokia devices just yet.
