Full FeedNokia eying Android for new netbook in 2010
Several days ago, we learned that Nokia and Intel announced a partnership in which they hope to create new, innovative products. According to Daniel Amir of Lazard Capital Markets, he foresees Nokia adopting the Android technology to incorporate in a netbook by 2010.
In addition, the Android netbook will be equipped with an ARM processor and will be geared towards the average mobile customer. Nokia will be distributing the netbook through other carriers. They are already known for their quality smartphones, and with a quality netbook geared towards the mobile community, they could make a decent profit. Amir continues to say “Considering this market is dominated by the PC players, we believe Nokia could face an uphill battle to succeed in this market.”
With the new Intel partnership, Nokia has a lot of unique opportunities in which to create a netbook. They can opt with the Android technology (which hasn’t proved itself as a netbook OS yet) or work with Intel for a stable, strong netbook. In addition, a recent survey notes 60% of netbook users use their netbook as a cheaper PC. If that is the case, Nokia could capitalize on the users who want an even smaller device, with strong capabilities - something like an even more mobile netbook.
Either way, it will be interested to see what Nokia produces in the coming years, whether it be with Android, Intel, or both.
