Nokia new N800 Internet Tablet
Nokia new N800 Internet Tablet is sure a looker compared to the older Nokia N770. Nokia officially unveiled the N800 Internet Tablet at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Jan. 8, 2007 and launched an N800 area on its US website. More powerful and refined than its predecessor, Nokia’s 770 Internet Tablet, the N800 is a reasonably small device that’s finely tuned to give users access to the Web, POP3 and IMAP e-mail, RSS feeds and, to a limited extent, instant messaging and voice over IP. It also plays audio and video, and performs enough tricks for tech-savvy mobile users.
Differences between N800 and 770 tablets
As had been anticipated, the N800 bears a high resemblance to its older sibling, the 770. Key changes include: addition of a VGA-resolution web cam; microphone moved to a more phone-friendly position; two full-size SD card slots, instead of a single RS-MMC slot; built-in stereo speakers, instead of a single speaker; scroll rocker for web page scrolling; redesigned top-mounted buttons and 5-way cursor pad; built-in stand; and a few mechanical tweaks.
One frequent complaint with the earlier 770 tablet was the device’s limited internal memory capacity of 64MB RAM and 64MB available flash. The N800 ups the RAM to 128MB, and increases the flash memory to 256 MB (with around 80 MB reportedly occupied by the device’s standard Linux software stack), according to Nokia’s director of open source, Dr. Ari Jaaksi. Another significant change is that instead of the 770’s single RS-MMC (reduce-sized MMC) slot, the N800 provides a pair of full-sized SD card slots, which Nokia says are usable with SD, MicroSD, MiniSD, MMC, and RS-MMC cards, in capacities up to 2GB. Cards such as RS-MMC require the use of a small adapter.
