"Very actively" looking at the opportunity

Nokia is looking "very actively" into making laptops, the phone manufacturer's boss has revealed.

Nokia's chief executive Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo told a Finnish broadcaster that as mobiles and laptops are "converging" they are considering the opportunity.

"We are looking very actively also at this opportunity. We don't have to look even for five years from now to see that what we know as a mobile phone and what we know as a PC are in many ways converging", Kallasvuo said.

"Today we have hundreds of millions of people who are having their first Internet experience on the phone. This is a good indication".

Nokia has described its flagship Nseries phones as "multimedia computers" since the N95 launched in 2006.
