Nokia not only thinking the first Nokia laptop computers product, though it coming to computers market which the device will go around in the difference target market area, while Nokia self as the world’s number one mobile phone manufacturer, has well position in the mobile phone market.

Company plans to launch a slew of new products this year, say it to increased competition from up-and-coming rivals. company understand what user want cannikin, also company think more to face many smatrphone competitors likes Apple’s iPhone and RIM’s Blackberry.

Smartphone market expert analyzes, now Nokia focus on software, says that Nokia had not yet found a product to challenge the iPhone as most new Nokia devices use an outdated operating system to drive their phones. Nokia is developing the right mobile software and will going to fight in 2011. They estimates Nokia has sold just 500,000 of them worldwide since its launch in June. Apple’s new third-generation iPhone sold one million units in its first weekend on sale.

Company sells of the latest smartphone, called Mini’s N97, have achieved modest sales so far compared to the iPhone. Others report say, suggesting that the N97 mini smartphone successfully raised the company’s profile and brought its fellow handset along for the ride. The N97 sell surpass over the 5800 XpressMusic? That’s well opportunity sign, since report says Nokia income drops 66 percent in mobile phones market.

The folks expect here, Nokia needs its new models of devices to be a success and the N97 mini smartphone have to sheer volume of devices, handsets with high-speed internet access, are the fastest growing segment in the mobile phone market and their higher price tags mean they carry higher profit margins than cheaper, new OS software and more basic models.

News about Booklet’s Nokia 3G may came to hot discussion, assorted analysis, estimate price and photos springs up since early last week.  But company just temporary hold back to confirmation it after boast more music features and mesh better with Facebook to more connecting people via social networking site in Stuttgart, Germany.

Nokia have new plans to the differ-way from mobile phones market to laptop computers market, unveiled Nokia Booklet 3G, which will ship in the fourth quarter of 2009 with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 CPU and Windows 7 OS. The company will focus on mobile phones, smartphones and mobile computing as like to Acer, ASUS, Lenovo and Dell etc, which have the netbook product a low-cost laptop computer, but it Nokia’s first netbook will growth to the world laptop computers market.

Nokia struggle to the 12 hours battery life, though be justifiably curious to see how that holds up under real-world testing, while the machine will running on 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 CPU, WiFi and a built-in, hot-swappable SIM card slot for 3G right to use.

More features on the specs include 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 120GB hard drive with 1.8-inch thick and 4200RPM speed, integrated Ovi Suite, a 10.1-inch LCD for 1,280 x 720 of resolution, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Assisted-GPS, HDMI, three USB 2.0 version, an SD card reader, a 1.3 megapixel camera. The body design by aluminum with the weighs 2.8 pounds and retail for euro575.

Mini laptops may be will so in two different choices at laptop computers market, during these time mini laptops based on Arm chips has patching way, so the mini laptop gets place in the user heart, which could heat up the battle in a space dominated by netbooks with Intel’s Atom chips.

Laptop computers maker trying to introduce new mini laptop to the market, besides aim to creating a product that can be used as handily as a mobile phone and has functions of a small laptop called netbook, it also aim to users have to know more that both device have any difference netbook and mini laptop.

Sharp announced an ultra-compact PC-Z1 mini laptop in last week, it called the “NetWalker” uses “Ubuntu” Linux-derived OS, one of the first mini-laptops based on an Arm chip, has a 5-inch touch screen and a 68-key keyboard and offers 10 hours of battery life. The NetWalker designed for those who rely on the Web for computing. Company plans to start shipping in Japan.

So far the netbook go to market and arrived to user hand not covering by erudition truthfully that the netbook are the low-cost laptop computers only work for internet browsing, getting and send email, develop any document, plays music and video but not same to normal laptop computers can working on high graphic with high speed. Above all for users in the developing countries, which they don’t know any information either from netbook seller, they know that are small and cheapest.

Any laptop computers maker and some companies sure has seen the opportunity develop similar devices with larger screens, says will be based on Arm chips designed like Freescale Semiconductor, Nvidia and Qualcomm, but Dell is investigating the concept, Arm-based mini-laptops by some chip makers has official called “smartbooks”, the design to have similar characteristics to netbooks, including compact keyboards and screens, but not based on Intel’s Atom chips and use Microsoft’s Windows OS. The smartbooks will come with Linux, as Arm-based chips, it do not support Windows XP OS.

In situation and economy condition not yet rise, some companies hesitant, like ASUS pioneer on its world’s first netbook has demonstrated a mini-laptop with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon platform, running Google’s Android open-source OS says, no “clear market” for smartbooks and that the company had no plans to ship them. Maybe ASUS know that and experienced when bring up the netbook then wage war at low-cost laptop computers market opposes the rivals.

Qualcomm differ look at, disagreed with ASUS, there’s a market for smartbooks, which are better for people who rely more on the Web for computing “We’re not trying to emulate the PC experience,” Qualcomm said. The smartbooks provide a longer battery life, as Arm chips draw less power than Intel’s Atom chips, highlighted other benefits, including instant access to the Web and quick startup compared with Atom-based netbooks, smartbook have more Arm chips need better application support to compete with Intel chips and low price.

Nokia ascertains that company steps to expand in the word technology market effort, Nokia is the world’s largest mobile phone makers want move, taking a part tune from laptop computers market, company said on Monday, their would start to make laptops, toward the inside a ferociously competitive, but it hope will fast-growing in the netbook market.

Smartphone fast growing in the market and user need more, hope the new smartphone came with more demand facilities ability to user, they want the smartphone functioned like laptops, all be slurry to be one, so user can using it in all business. Nokia also seen its profit margins has drop over the last quarters as mobile phone demand has slumped, analysts have worried that inflowing the laptop computers industry, where margins are traditionally razor-thin, could hurt Nokia’s profits further.

As users also hope it first Nokia netbook have a certain quality and of course cheap Nokia netbook. Company said Nokia Booklet 3G, will use Microsoft’s Windows software and Intel’s Atom processor — offering up to 12 hours of battery life, and weighing 1.25 kilograms, If the specs like that, its the meaning equal to other netbook a low-cost laptop computers following ASUS first introduce to the worldwide in 2007, then also appeared Acer, HP and Dell have also pushed out their own lines since then.

User that wear netbook to browsing on the Internet, email and prepare another light document enough satisfied wears the netbook, however for users, who laboring with the netbook and wants sharp picture graph and fast to work, enough disappointed, to uses the netbook in fact has good enough, they may increase few processor speeds and supports big memory to runs it.

Nokia also hoping that its brand and knowledge of cellular channels will play to its strengths as it addresses this crowded — “At present we see Nokia’s foray into the netbook market as a niche exercise in the context of its broader business.” Nokia said it, may coming with Windows 7 operating system and would unveil detailed specifications in September.

Taiwanese company Asustek just aiming take one percent of mobile phones market in 2010, company target of 1 million units for its newly launched smartphone, hope will fast-growing in the smartphone market compete with Acer, Dell,  Apple iPhone, BlackBerry etc.

Asustek research finding opportunity in the smartphone market and expects will grow to shipments of more than 200 million units next year. Asustek Chairman Jonney Shih told reporters during the launch of its smartphone line it is building with navigation device maker Garmin. In the statement “We’re going to focus on getting our products to work first before trying to meet our targets next year,” he said.

The world know Asustek are the pioneer of netbook a low-cost and small laptop computers, now will go through second road in smartphone market plan would make it the second major laptop computers firm to begin selling smartphones this year. Company using the Garmin-Asus brand name, will run on Microsoft’s Windows Mobile platform, at a time when some industry watchers are saying the software is faltering against bigger rivals.

Some mobile phone makers and laptop computers company also choose smartphone market, has begun from China like Apple and Dell said it is working with China Unicom to develop a line of mobile devices for the Chinese telecoms operator, that indicate competition has been begun. Acer also has selling these feature-jammed devices follow smartphone trend market likes Apple and Dell.

Many emails come to us and asking about smartphone connect to laptop computers and profit benefit for user that have high mobility, they are difficulty to uses smartphone facilities to their business importance, majority facilities available in smartphone easy for music, movie, email and connect to social network Website, if want more they are still must wear real laptop computers not netbook, although netbook have few help but they want more and more.

Daiwa Institute of Research, Andrew Chang analyst said “It’s going to be extremely difficult for Asustek and other PC makers who are trying to enter the smartphone sector,” if companies move toward smartphones is necessary for laptop computer makers as their products become increasingly similar and as they face rapidly thinning profit margins.

Apple Inc’s said expectations quarterly in the effect are elevated at next week in wake of strong powerful early sales for its new iPhone and improved response on the personal computer market after Intel Corp’s earnings.

Apple has launched its third-generation iPhone 3GS in mid-June, and as well, company slashed the price of the previous model to $99, which should contribute to healthy on the whole sales.

Analysts say comparatively strong consumer demand for laptop computers and lower prices on refreshed Mac laptops may also help profits, even though there is some concern about margin pressure, given recent trends in module costs.

“I think the key is that core consumer demand is there,” said Hudson Square Research analyst Daniel Ernst, while noting a quantity of weakness in education, one of the company’s key markets. “There are lines for $400 phones. Clearly they’re well positioned, and when the laptop computers market comes back, we believe they’re going to take significant share,” he said.

Apple’s results could further bolster its stock, which has been among the top performers in technology in 2009 they trade at more than 26 times forward earnings. The company shares contain risen 6 percent since Intel strike expectations on Tuesday, and are up in excess of 70 percent this year.

Analysts say the “whisper number” is likely in the low $1.20s per share for the fiscal third quarter, and note that Apple has a history of topping expectations, according to Reuters Estimates the company has beat the Street’s average profit estimate for the past eight quarters by a minimum of 8 percent. They noted, Apple also has a long tradition of issuing very conservative forecasts, and the September quarter should be no diverse.

Wall Street is expecting Apple to post earnings of $1.16 a share on revenue of $8.2 billion in the June quarter, according to Reuters Estimates. That would be a earnings immerse of about 2 percent and a revenue augment of 10 percent from a year ago.

Apple’s also reached profit, according to Broadpoint Amtech analyst Brian Marshall said, “I think the guidance will be conservative for September as usual, but I think numbers are going higher. I think Apple is going to $175 here in the second half of the year.” A number of potential future growth drivers include a much-rumored laptop computers and an iPhone launch in China, he said.

Analysts said company have to anticipate 4.5 million to 5 million iPhone units to be sold in the June quarter, even though some think Apple might handily exceed those estimates. Mac computer shipments are seen at 2.3 million to 2.5 million units, and iPod shipments of 10 million to 11 million.

Apple also has a problem in the company itself, one latent area of weakness is Apple’s gross margin, given the price cuts and signs that some laptop computers machinery’ costs are not coming down as much as expected, but company has forecast a gross margin of 33 percent for the June quarter, and Wall Street expects it in the 34-35 percent range. It was 36.4 percent last quarter.

Something positive that, for investors may also be looking for the first public words from Chief Executive Steve Jobs in some time. Jobs has back to work in late June following a nearly five months medical leave, during which he underwent a liver transplant.
