Nokia / Intel announcement to lead to netbooks in Q3?
Just one short day after Nokia and Intel bestowed a great non-announcement upon us all, rumors are already flying. Bloomberg, citing the hit-or-miss Commercial Times as its sourceless source, suggests this morning that Nokia has placed orders with both Quanta Computer Inc. and Compal Electronics Inc. for netbooks/smartbooks.
June 24 (Bloomberg) – Nokia Oyj ordered netbook computers from Quanta Computer Inc. and Compal Electronics Inc., the Commercial Times reported, without saying where it got the information.
The Quanta netbook will use Intel Corp.’s Atom chip and will go on sale in the third quarter at the earliest, the Taipei-based, Chinese-language newspaper said.
Compal will make the so-called smartbook computer for Nokia using Qualcomm (NSDQ: QCOM) Inc.’s Snapdragon chip, the newspaper said.
Nokia is the world’s biggest mobile phone maker. Taiwan-based Quanta and Compal are the world’s two biggest makers of laptop computers.
An Atom-based Nokia netbook in Q3? A Snapdragon-based smartbook? Sounds nice. If these rumors do have any credence, perhaps the latter will materialize as a Snapdragon-powered Internet Tablet as opposed to a “smartbook”. Enter wait-and-see mode… Now.

I can confirm this is happening because my source, who works Nokia, told me this is definitely coming.
And I also saw pictures of a lot of new handsets coming down the pipeline. To name one internal code name of a device – Aggy and it’s going to AT&T. That’s all I can say for now…
hurrey boys
“Just one short day after Nokia and Intel bestowed a great non-announcement upon us all”
- for example when apple bought PA semiconductor business last year or so silently without any announcement.. did anyone ask question to Apple what Apple is going to come out with any product.NO…
Apple is nearly a communist company
