Video of the Nokia Booklet 3g Unboxing

It’s not in English, but it is an unboxing video.  Looks like Nokia has been taking some packaging cues from Apple with its new Booklet.  Not much news here, but I did notice a nicely designed powerbrick with an integrated spool for the cable.  I wish more portable pc manufacturers would break away like this and do useful things with the humble powerbrick.

Check out the video after the break.

Vodafone Vitesse Netbook

Past the break, a few of the first hands-on videos of the new Vodafone Vitesse netbook, which is actually just a rebadged Onkyo Sotec C204, which was released in Japan earlier this year.  The Vitesse’s biggest plus points are a weight of just 933 grams, and its built-in 3g connectivity via a hidden SIM card slot behind its battery.

The Asus Eee PC 1005hgo with Huawei 3g Modem

Asus added a Huawei EM770 3g modem to the Eee PC 1005HA to make it the 3g enabled Eee PC 1005HGO.  For the rest, all the traditional netbook specs remain,  including a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pxiel display, 1.66GHz Intel Atom CPU, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth, 1GB of RAM, and a 160Gb hard drive. It ships with a 5 cell battery that should be good for around 8 to 10 hours.

Likewise with the Asus Eee PC 1101HGO Asus have added the same 3g modem to the  Asus Eee PC 1101HA.  It features an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display, 1.3GHz Intel Atom Z520 CPU, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, GB of RAM, and a 160Gb hard drive. It has a 6 cell, 8 hour battery.

I’m pretty certain we’ll see the trend continuing with 3g.  Netbooks and 3g (later on WiMax) are just a match made in heaven.  If you want, tell how you use your 3g netbook in the comments.
