Business trends for Porsche and Nokia

05/10/2009 by Ezu Leave a reply »
The managers tend to change the scope of their companies, and to go to other markets. Some areas are even new vendors – such as those from Porsche that designs yachts, but others are somewhat similar to the current production – such as those from Nokia that now produce laptops.

Porsche is stepping into a new playing field – boats. Porsche Design and Miami-based boat maker Fearless have teamed up to build a yacht that makes a 911 look like a tonka truck. Their new Fearless Yacht has a 525-horsepower Viper engine that can hit top speeds of 88MPH. The only thing it’s missing is a flux capacitor. The base model is 28 feet long, but if that seems to common a size for you they’re working on models up to 150 feet in length.

Porsche Design Studio uses innovative materials to create elegant interiors, which can be customized by F68 owners.

When the largest manufacturer of mobile phones enters a completely different market for the first time, it’s definitely more than just another netbook. With ongoing rumors about an Apple tablet/netbook, Nokia may be trying to set itself as a player in this space before the competition does.

The new Nokia Booklet 3G will be a Windows-based machine, supported by an efficient Intel Atom processor that promises the performance of a full-function PC. It’s efficiency credentials are boldly punctuated with battery life that stretches up to 12 hours (with normal daily use, of course – don’t expect a 12-hour Quake-fest off a single hit of juice).

Turning our attention to mini matters of a tape-measure nature, the Nokia Booklet 3G comes toting a glass 10.1-inch HD display (it has an HDMI port for HD video out). This lives within its smart aluminum shell which measures in at just 2cm thin and tips the scales at around a kilogram to ensure it’s extremely portable.

Connecting at speed is crucial with a product of this nature, so the Booklet 3G has been designed with fast downloading and uploading front of mind – it’s 3G/HSPA ready for rapid mobile broadband anywhere-access on the move. Wi-Fi has also been wedged into it’s slim body. Plus, it supports hot-swappable SIM card functionality.

It’s talents don’t end there, with Nokia’s mini laptop PC also featuring onboard assisted-GPS with Ovi Maps neatly sat in the passenger seat. There’s a single front-facing camera nestled above the 10.1-inch HD screen for video chat, with Bluetooth and a built-in SD card reader also making appearances.

    I have a Nokia phone and the phone works very well, and I want to buy a Nokia phone because my opinion is that they do good things.
