According to the Economic Times, Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo told reporters at a press event Wednesday in India, that "the PC and the mobile will continue to come closer and merge." He said Nokia sees a lot of opportunity in this convergence and he added that the company is "looking at the Netbook market to see what kind of opportunity is there."

It shouldn't come as a big surprise that Nokia might push further into the computing space. The company has been marketing its new smartphone, the N97, as a "mobile computer." And the company has also been selling its mobile Internet devices, or N-series Tablets.

These devices, which are geared toward early adopters and gadget lovers, typically start at around $300 to $400. They don't incorporate a traditional cell phone, but they come with a full QWERTY keypad and access to the Internet via Wi-Fi or through a Bluetooth-connected phone.

Netbooks appeal to a wider audience than mobile Internet devices, which could help Nokia diversify its business. Netbooks, which once were seen as "companion devices" for accessing cloud-based services like Gmail or social-networking sites like Facebook, are now being used as full-blown computers.

Their low cost (around $299) has driven big sales of these devices. About 16 million Netbooks were sold in North America in 2008. And because these devices often use Windows XP, a familiar operating system, most PC users already feel comfortable using them.

Nokia is likely hoping to cash in on Netbooks' popularity.

It's clear that consumers are looking to be more mobile and as carriers around the world build faster 4G wireless networks, demand for mobility will likely increase. What's more, Nokia and other handset makers will soon be facing competition from computer makers in the mobile phone market. Laptop maker Acer has already announced it is developing a smartphone. And there are reports that PC maker Dell is also working on a mobile phone.

]]> Nokia, the world’s largest maker of cell phones, could be preparing to enter the crowded Netbook market.

According to the Economic Times, Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo told reporters at a press event Wednesday in India, that “the PC and the mobile will continue to come closer and merge.” He said Nokia sees a lot of opportunity in this convergence and he added that the company is “looking at the Netbook market to see what kind of opportunity is there.”

]]> It’s ruled by unpredictability. But the Indian stock market is the most exciting emerging market, and investors are queuing up. Plan to invest in the Indian stock market? Let’s see what advantage you get over your international investments.

Investing has never been so much fun. Nor have you had so much choice. With several economies opening up, the whole world is at your disposal.

The market boom
The market is on a giddy rise; a 1,000-point leap for the BSE Sensex is now an established fact of life. Though you’ll have occasional dips, your money will wing its way upward most of the time. Most of the stock is correctly valued; returns on investment are excellent and the economy is booming.

Indian companies are showing a new confidence. Takeovers, acquisitions and mergers in the international market are on the rise. And this is now spreading across sectors: iron and steel, spirits, manufacturing, auto parts, not just IT. And as the juggernaut rolls on, so does the equity.

In your favor
Remember this, Indian corporates are growing despite poor infrastructure and seriously tangled red tape. The government is trying to make things better, and when that happens, you’ll rejoice that you invested today.

India Inc is certainly on a high, but you haven’t seen anything yet; in market shares and sheer size, Indian companies are still toddlers. Buy that stock, and you’ll watch it grow for several decades. What this means is that your investing dollar today will return for a long, long time.

Most importantly, investing in India makes sense because the stock market is disciplined and is regulated professionally. Yes, there are those who ask for more freedom (laxity?) in the system. In its present avatar, the market offers you short-term anxiety in the form of volatility; but it also guarantees you long-term happiness in returns.

Investing in India today is the best thing you can do for tomorrow. For the NRI, the Indian stock market offers great investing value, options, and returns.

Have you already invested in the Indian stock market? Were you pleased with your investment? Do you have any opinion to share with prospective investors?
