Nokia unveils Linux-based web device without phone

By

Nokia’s new product category will run solely on open source software, which will certainly make these new mobile devices attractive and affordable to consumers.

“We’re launching a completely new product category,” said Janne Jormalainen, Nokia’s vice president for convergence products at its multimedia devices division.

The device is aimed at consumers looking for an affordable extra Internet screen in the house that they can also carry with them and use at wireless hotspots outside the home or connect to a cell phone through a Bluetooth wireless link.

It will be available in the third quarter.
