Nokia Laptops: Coming Soon
Another sign of the converging road ahead for laptops and mobiles! Nokia has affirmed that they are considering entering the Laptop market. When asked of Nokia’s possible plans to start manufacturing laptops, CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo reportedly said, "We are looking very actively also at this opportunity”.
Why shouldn’t they? Laptops are getting smaller and integrating more and more features of mobiles, while mobile are gaining more and more features of computers. With Nokia smart phones already capable of email, web browsing, video streaming, editing documents, and much, much more, laptops are just a stone throw away.
Nokia’s unique experience in making mobile phones in a small form factor, and packing them to the brim with features, is one that will surely come to play in a big way. Many of Nokia’s higher end devices such as the E90 communicator are essentially trimmed down PC’s in their own right.
Recently Nokia entered the software by acquiring Trolltech, the company responsible for developing the Qt Toolkit which is widely used for developing software for Windows, MacOs and Linux, the most famous of them being the KDE Desktop environment for Linux. They have also recently acquired and open sourced the Symbian Operating System that is used on their phones. A version of Qt for developing application for Symbian is also underway. It is quite possible then that their Laptops might feature a expanded version of their Symbian operating system.
We have seen a lot of computer manufacturers, such as HP, Lenovo, and Acer starting their own line of mobile phone recently, and Dell too is considering the option. As such Nokia deciding to expand to the Laptop market isn’t quite so unusual.
Nokia already has a large loyal customer base, and its products are widely considered to be of superior quality, sturdy, and stable. They have a ready distribution network, and have large ready supply chain and manufacturing capacity, which they can use to gain foothold, and emerge successfully in the field.

Free Utility Speeds up Vista
Experienced users are well aware that you can improve the performance of all versions of Windows by shutting down non essential Windows services. Of all the versions of Windows, Vista shows the greatest gain from shutting down non essential services. That because it has so many err, non essential components.
Unfortunately shutting down services is not a task for the faint hearted. First it's hard to work out what services you don't need. Secondly it's quite a fiddly job to actually shut them down and finally and most importantly, things can go wrong like when you discover that one of your favorite programs actually uses one of those "non essential" services.
Vista Services Optimizer is a free utility that let you shut down unneeded services without the pain. There are several features about it that I really like:
1. It has an automatic Tune-up option that allows inexperienced users to shut down useless services. Furthermore it does this is a smart way. Rather than just taking a best guess what users don't need it asks simple plain English questions about what you do on your computer before it decides what you don't need.
2. Advanced users have plenty of options to fine tune their needs including the ability to create multiple service profiles.
3. It has smart Rescue Center that allows you to restart your shut down services should something go wrong.
On my tests it ran fine and after a bit of manual tweaking I realized some significant performance gains on my Vista PC. The only downside, apart from the usual risk of stopping a service that was actually needed, was the fact that the product requires the .NET 3 frameworks to be installed on your PC. Still, many modern Vista systems come with that pre-installed.
There is much to like here and if you use Vista I suggest you give it a whirl. However just to be extra careful I suggest you create a full system backup or create a system checkpoint before you start, in case you have a disaster. Sure Vista Services Optimizer has its own recovery mechanism but in my books, two backup recovery options are better than one.
