On October 17 2007 at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco California, Nokia announced the introduction of a new Internet appliance that they have named the N810. This new Internet Tablet from Nokia combines Internet capabilities, recorded music and GPS navigation in a compact large screen unit.

It is small enough to fit in a persons pocket yet comes loaded with a litany of features allowing for full and convenient use. Its 2.83 inches in height, .55 inches thick and 5.04 wide and weighs in at 7.97 ounces. With the Nokia810 a user can easily brows or communicate on the Internet using wi-fi networks or a Bluetooth cell phone if they wish.

What the Nokia N810 actually seems to be is, is an advanced version of the Nokia N800 with some new features added and a few unpopular features that were on the Nokia N800 removed. For instance, one of the new features that you will find in the Nokia N810 is new and more advanced Internet Tablet OS 2008 Linux distribution, 1 which is also based on Maemo, 4.0 and it also has a newer Mozilla Gecko based browser, a new media player, a mapping application and also a refreshed interface.

However; some who have tried the new Nokia N810 have registered a few complaints that are mostly centered around the keyboard function. While the keys are backbit, large and respectably more tactile to the touch then the keys on the Nokia 800, many complain that the top row of keys is positioned right up against the bottom of the screen which many have claimed can render typing rather difficult.

Aside from that one small area of complaint though the rest of this new N series tablet receives rave reviews. The N810 features a 2.47 inch by 4.13 inch 800 by 480 pixel, 65000 color touch screen. The screen is also translusive with a sensitive ambient light sensor, so it always provides clear and concise images in both bright sunlight and dim light conditions.

Other convenient features include a hardware key for quick locking of of the keys and touch screen. It comes off the shelf with a 2 gigabyte memory but can be augmented up to 8 gigabytes with either a microSD or a miniSD card. Its powered by a Texas Instruments OMAP 2420, 400MHz processor and Maemo, Linux based, 0S2008 operating system, so the N810 has plenty of power for all of its functions and applications and that includes the optional computer applications which can be added.

The N810 comes standard with a complete function WEB 2.0 Mozilla based browser which also includes AJAX function ability as support for any interactive web applications. Voice guided navigation is optional in the N810 but GPS navigation comes standard.

Also, it comes preloaded with maps that cover the area where the unit is purchased. It has a large capacity for storing songs and with the optional 10 gigabyte storage card it will hold up to a total of 7000 songs. So, all in all the Nokia N810 is a great improvement over their other Internet tablets that they have offered in the past.
