The staggering pace of mini-notebooks of about 5.2M units last year and about 8M by this year(according to Gartner) of a possible 50M units shipped by 2012 is really a market demand to look for. This demand dictates the trend what mobile mini-PC suggest, small form factor and small screen, light weight, price, ease of use, and basic but sufficient PC functionality. The trends of “laptops to smartphones” and “smartphones to laptop” may show a concluding side on the known manufacturer as Acer(laptops manufacturer) enters on smartphones and Dell with a rumored smartphones on development.
Nokia’s N810 Linux-based internet tablet is a great hint of a suspected Nokia’s entrance to netbook market.
