Nokia netbook on the cards

Nokia is thinking about jumping on the netbook bandwagon, its boss has confirmed.

CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvu said the company is currently working on its own mini-laptop to rival the Asus Eee PC and the Acer Aspire One.

“We are looking very actively also at this opportunity,” Kallasvu said.

Meanwhile, Taiwan-based notebook makers have reported that Nokia approached them about working together on a possible netbook.

Nokia’s most likely partners are Compal Electronics or Foxconn Electronics.

Nokia‘s netbook would be jointly designed with its company of choice.
