Nokia's promising up to 12 hours battery life with 3G turned off, an HDMI for piping that HD footage from its ten-inch screen to your presumably larger telly, plus regular features such as the 1GB of RAM and 120GB hard drive, Bluetooth and a webcam. Proof, were any needed, that netbooks are the big, small story in tech right now.
