Nokia ponders the laptop business

We have just caught a glimpse of a Reuters report of Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, who is Nokia’s current boss, saying on Finnish TV what amounts to Nokia’s first official acknowledgement that they are prepared to enter the PC industry. 

In recent weeks, we have seen PC manufacturers announced cell phones to add to their range of mobile PCs, and we now observe that this cuts both ways. Nokia may merely be the first handset maker to try its hand at the portable computer business. 

Either way, it would be a safe bet that in the future laptops will come with built in voice capabilities, and so will handphone devices come with more and more laptop features. The question that must be asked is this: Will they use Microsoft Windows or new version of the Symbian OS for a Nokia laptop? One can’t help but suspect a modified Symbian OS is under development. After all, Nokia did buy the entire Symbian operation a little while ago.

When you pay they give you what you are looking for.
Keep your eyes open, though, and make sure you know what the small print is about.
