Nokia has now officially announced the
Linux-based Nokia N810 internet tablet. The little PC that's scarcely larger
than the palm of your hand hooks up to the internet via Wi-Fi, and also can snag
a Bluetooth connection with your cellphone. With its highly desirable slide-out
keyboard, looks like some tough competition for the iPod touch. It also adds GPS
capability with tons of preloaded maps complete with points of interest to get
you where you want to go. It has 2GB of internal storage, but when you stick a
10GB memory card in there, you can be well stocked with music, too, or view
videos on its 4.13-inch 800x480 wide touchscreen. While that's the same
resolution as its Nokia N800 predecessor, the N810 improves upon that with a 20%
brighter screen and a 400MHz processor. Shipping in November, it's a pretty good
deal at $479.
In other news,
I4U News just published a video demonstrating the new Nokia N810. The video
shows a guy using the Nokia N810 for surfing the web and Youtube, chatting,
video conferencing and navigating on a map.
