Brief: Nokia Booklet 3G to come out in early 2010, ARM based version a bit later?

Digitimes, the site that either gets things remarkably right, or totally wrong, has a rumor from a couple of Taiwanese handset makers that the Finnish company is planning on making a smartbook (defined as a netbook, but with an ARM processor) and will release it in 2010. They also claim that the Booklet 3G will come out in early 2010, meaning Nokia (NYSE: NOK) is going to miss the holiday season. Strange, how long does it take to put a few pieces of plastic together, slap Windows 7 on it, and install Ovi Suite?
What OS is going to power said smartbook, is it going to be Symbian, or Maemo?
Plastic? I thought it was a unibody aluminium shell with a 10 inch glass screen.
Maybe they are still making deals with networks so they have solid tariffs at launch.
We’ll see.
