The increasing convergence of telecoms and IT is
creating
a new generation of highly portable mobile computing devices,
so called netbooks, which have all of the IT functionality of
traditional laptops coupled with the telecoms capabilities of
smartphones.
Such devices offer IT buyers both a
headache and an opportunity for IT purchasers as they are
ostensibly very portable laptops but typically marketed like
smartphones. Further evidence of this trend has come with the
launch of the Netbook X110 LG Electronics who is claiming that its
new device is at the cutting edge of mobile connectivity and will
challenge the existing boundaries of flexibility.
Said to offer the ‘full’ PC experience on the move and available
initially with 3G telecoms network connectivity, the 1.19 Kg
Netbook X110 is LG’s attempt to hit the same work style marketing
space as the BlackBerry and iPhone with its new device, making it
available in pink and silver and small enough to fit into a handbag
or rucksack.
In terms of technical specifications, the LG Netbook is HSUPA
and GPS enabled and based on a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor equipped
with WLAN 802.11 b/g and 10/100 Ethernet for wired and wireless
network connectivity; 1 GB of RAM and 80GB of on-board memory; a
WSVGA (1024x600) 10-inch widescreen; and, as a direct challenge to
the smartphone-based competition, a full-size keyboard to make
typing easier and more accurate.
