As the distinction between telecoms, mobile phone manufacturers and the world of computers becomes ever narrower there are strong rumours that Nokia is on the verge of releasing a Nokia branded laptop. Sources claim the company is in talks with Chinese company Elitegroup Computer Systems about a Nokia branded laptop with a suggestion that talks could be concluded later this year.
Those who follow Nokia will be well aware that back in February the company claimed it was already looking at a Nokia branded laptop although very few additional details were released. One common feature between telecoms groups, mobile phone manufacturers and the computer industry would appear to be broadband which is taking the world by storm. The introduction of mobile broadband appears to have injected significant competition into the three sectors and seen co-operation between companies who would not normally communicate.
The world of broadband is moving forward at a lightning fast pace and many parties feel they need to have "a slice of the cake" to secure their long-term future. It is highly likely we will see closer ties between the likes of Nokia, laptop manufacturers and broadband providers with the possibility of mega-mergers in the future. |
