Nokia N810
Nokia today rolled out a new Internet tablet, which has evolved into a portable entertainment platform that comes with a slide-out keyboard and a GPS receiver.
The N810, as its predecessors, only works as a stand-alone Internet tablet as long as there is a Wi-Fi hotspot from in range. The new device will work with Boingo Wireless, Earthlink and The Cloud locations, Nokia said.
When there is no hotspot available, the tablet will connect to a cellphone via Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR and retrieve and send data over a cellular network.
The technology behind the N-tablet has received some upgrades, but hasn’t changed much: The TI2420 OMAP processor now runs at 400 MHz instead of 330 MHz, Wi-Fi is still supported with 802.11 b/g standards, DDR is still at 128 MB and internal flash memory still at 256 MB.
The screen remained at a 4.13” size, providing an 800×480 pixel resolution at 225 dpi.
The operating system is still a Debian/GNU-based Linux called “Maemo”, but has been updated with a new Kernel and is now called Internet tablet OS 2008, instead of 2007. Internal memory is rated at up to 2 GB, while the device also supports SD and SDHC flash memory cards with up to 8 GB capacity.
Besides the new keyboard, the most significant addition to the N810 is a built-in GPS receiver, which can be upgraded to Wayfinder’s voice-guided navigation to allow turn-by-turn directions.
The N810 is expected to become available in November for a suggested retail price of $479. That looks like a really useful gadget for those who need to be online everywhere.
