India’s first 3G-equipped netbook - Netbook X107H - was announced by the Tata Teleservices (TTSL) which has been devised in collaboration with Olive Telecommunication, the parent company of Haier Mobile. This netbook features high-speed Internet access for mobile Internet connectivity and broadband.

Netbook X107H is powered by Qualcomm's QSC6085 chipset. This brings in the capabilities of Evolution-Date Optimized (EV-DO) that as a technology on Tata Teleservices' network will enable users with broadband connectivity.

Besides this the new 3G-enabled netbook has a 1.6 GHz processor, 1 GB DDR memory and a 160 GB 2.5-inch hard drive.

The netbook also features Mobile broadband connectivity which will provide the users access to advanced data applications and services on the move.

The Netbook X107H has been valued at Rs. 23,999 which includes the Photon Plus device by Tata Indicom. The company will also be launching 10 other models which would be ranging from Rs. 4999 to Rs. 39999. The netbooks will be available exclusively in Tata Indicom stores.

The 3G technology is considered to be the next big thing. There are companies like Nokia and Dell that have launched their 3G-anabled netbooks. But for TTSL, this is its first ever netbook and marks the company’s foray in the competitive market. It would be interesting to follow the growth path for TTSL’s X-series netbooks!
