Nokia considering making notebooks

From Reuters -

Rumors about Nokia's possible plan to enter the PC industry started late last year, and last Wednesday, its CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo confirmed such plans in an interview with Finnish national broadcaster YLE.

His comments come a week after No 3 PC brand Acer launched a foray into the phone business with eight mobile phone models, joining leader Hewlett-Packard and No. 4 Lenovo in the high-growth space.

While strong profit margins in the smartphone industry attract PC brands, the attraction of the low-margin computer industry is less obvious.
