As I confirmed before, a division of Foxconn is already making netbooks for Nokia. That is readily-available public knowledge. Now, whether that involves the heavily-discussed Booklet or some other model is not for me to say.
It is also public knowledge that Foxconn built CDMA phones for Nokia for 2 years. It is further public knowledge that this was for Verizon, who is developing a 4G infrastructure based on LTE in the US.
My analysis: there are dots to be connected here.

Interestingly Foxconn seems to be one of those ultra-opportunistic corporations which thrive under the unique Chinese blend of "crony-communism" and western corporatism by being against anything free and open.
They're also making sure that the artsy Apple clientele gets their labour-union-free gadgets without Apple needing to lower its profit margins.

Well, hopefully this second netbook will be a convertible tablet :-}

I'd like something like the new Sharp NetWalker, with a swivel screen (=tablet) and Bluetooth...

For a netbook, I'd like something bigger than a 5" screen though (re: Sharp NetWalker). I'd prefer a 8"-10" for a netbook.
But a convertible-tablet/swivel-screen version of the Sharp NetWalker, 5" screen and all, but otherwise like an N900 (phone, 3G, Maemo5) ... that I'd buy :-)

As I posted in the Booklet thread, the Moblin Zone newsletter seems to agree with the premise that there will be Moblin/Maemo netbooks (although they say Atom processors, not ARM). An article about ConnMan (our current hope for ditching NetworkManager in Mer, BTW) starts with the following:
>>> In June 2009 Intel and Nokia announced a partnership to collaboratively optimize Moblin and Nokia’s Maemo Linux OS for Atom-based netbooks, nettops, MIDs, automotive infotainment systems and cell phones.
