NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Nokia takes a plunge into the PC market
Tuesday with the introduction of its first netbook computer.

Nokia is expected to unveil the Booklet at a media event in New York
Tuesday.

The device, called Booklet, runs on the new Microsoft Windows 7
operating system and Intel's(INTC Quote) stripped-down Atom chip. The
slim metal body appears to some a close approximation of Apple's (AAPL
Quote) MacBook and boasts a 12-hour battery time. The Booklet includes
GPS and WiFi and 3G wireless, which is expected to be sold through a
telco partner like AT&T (T Quote), though no carrier has been named
yet.
