Nokia certainly knows how to surprise us all. And Booklet 3G’s announcement has been nothing short of that. It seems Nokia has finally decided to take a big crack at the netbook market. Booklet 3G netbook is an innovative portable gadget that brings you everything that is good about netbooks plus many additional features that you don’t see on today’s netbooks. For starters, the device comes with ATOM processors and is a Windows-based netbook (too bad!). It does come with a 10.1 inch screen, but the resolution is much higher than most of its peers. But what’s impressive about this netbook is its battery life. It can last you for 12 hours which has got to be a record as far as the netbook market is concerned.

You also get a lot of networking features on Booklet 3G. It comes with an integrated 3G adapter and hot swappable SIM card. That’s not what we have come to expect from netbooks these days. You also get GPS and maps on your netbook. So no matter where you are, you can use this device to help you find your way back home. And if you want to delve into the world of HD, you can easily do it with its HDMI output.

It’s still not known how much this device will go for, but it’s certainly very interesting to watch. It’s certainly capable of raising the bar even higher for entrants in the netbook market, and that’s a good thing.
