In what can surely be called a surprise move, Nokia has announced that it will enter the netbook market with an Atom-based netbook which will ship with Windows 7. While many of the components appear relatively normal compared to other netbooks, it does come with a few features that will set the device apart from the rest. Instant update: Ars believes this is the first Intel Pine Trail netbook.

Looks really promising.
I only have two requests:
1) Make it affordable. If it´s more than $500, it´s out of the question.
2) Provide choice in the OS: provide a model with identical specs but loaded with a good linux distro.
Nokia is doing some pretty interesting things: they bought Trolltech and released Qt under the LPGL, they are pretty active in the mobile os department with linux and now this netbook.
Can´t wait to get my hands on one of these babies. Here´s to hoping that the next generation of netbooks have all the features of the Nokia one built-in.
