Nokia has unveiled the Booklet 3G, a netbook with high-speed mobile broadband and Wi-Fi connectivity, and a GPS receiver. The Booklet 3G should run for up to 12 hours on one battery charge, Nokia said. It weighs 1.25 kilograms, has an aluminum chassis and is slightly more than 2 centimeters thick. The device also has a 10-inch screen, and can connect to bigger displays using an HDMI port, according to Nokia. Like most other netbooks on the market, it contains an Intel Atom processor and will run Windows -- although Nokia isn't yet ready to say which version of the OS.

Nvidia showed off a new GPU architecture on Wednesday that it hopes will allow it to move beyond gaming to play a greater role in the supercomputing market. The new Fermi architecture should provide more realistic graphics for gamers, but it also includes technologies that make it well-suited to highly parallel computing environments, Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said in a speech at the company's GPU Technology conference, which was webcast from San Jose, California. He showed a graphics card on stage with a prototype of the new chip inside it, but he didn't announce any specific product plans Wednesday or say when Fermi would hit the market.
