Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Apparently unwilling to cede the small, portable computer market to PC manufacturers, small portable phone manufacturer Nokia has announced that it will introduce a netbook computer. The device will be able to access Nokia's Ovi mobile services as well as standard Web offerings.
The new device, called the Nokia Booklet 3G, sports a 10-inch display and an aluminum case in a 2.75-pound (1.25-kilogram) package.
It runs on an Intel Atom processor, and Nokia claims up to 12 hours of battery life.
The Booklet also features an HDMI port, Bluetooth, an SD card reader, and a built-in camera.
In addition to WiFi connectivity, the device will also work over 3G/HSPA networks.
That will enable it to use the Ovi suite of online services, such as syncing with Nokia phones, get music from the Nokia Music store, and access online file storage.
It can also use its built-in A-GPS system with Ovi's maps to provide location and directions services.
The announcement calls the Booklet "another important ingredient in [Nokia's] move towards becoming a mobile solutions company."
Pricing and availability were not announced. More details are promised at Nokia World , starting September 2.
