Nokia Intros The N800 Internet Tablet

Wednesday, 10 January 2007 09:33

Nokia's unveiled the new N800 Internet Tablet yesterday at the International CES. This new device is an upgrade to the existing N770 Internet Tablet. It is beautiful and packs quite a lot of punch into a small machine (only 7.27 ounces).

The high resolution widescreen color display (800x480 pixels) is large enough to be easy on the eyes, and for $400 it offers nearly everything you'd get from a laptop, making it a worthwhile investment. There's also a handy camera for video conferencing. Conveniently for your thumbs, and for the sake of efficiency, a full screen finger keyboard is available by rubbing your thumb over the screen.

Among the most impressive features, unsurprising though it may be, is the docking device for your car, turning the N800 into a personal navigation device. With internet calling using WiFi and plenty of space for additional memory cards, the N800 is a standout at a show full of interesting new products.

Nokia also announced that it is collaborating with Skype to develop a new mobile Skype experience on the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet. The collaboration builds on the familiarity and richness of desktop Skype and makes it mobile.

"Skype is the recognized leader of Internet communications with over 136 million registered users worldwide," said Ari Virtanen, Vice President, Convergence Products, Nokia. "Nokia's new N800 Internet Tablet is designed for mobile Internet. Together, we can develop communications devices beyond expectations."

"Skype is very happy to be partnering with Nokia," said Eric Lagier, Director, Business Development, Hardware and Mobile, at Skype. "Working with the leading mobile-handset manufacturer puts us in a unique position to get Skype to the mobile masses. With the introduction of the Nokia N800, we are positioning Skype as the centerpiece of Internet conversations on this Wi-Fi-centric device. The Nokia N800 is an excellent platform for taking Skype conversations beyond the PC."

The Nokia N800 Internet Table, like its predecessor, the Nokia 770, is based on Nokia's desktop Linux based Operating System. The Maemo development platform was launched in 2005 to provide Open Source developers with the tools and opportunities to create applications for use on Nokia's Internet Tablets. Users of the Nokia N800 will be able to benefit from a wide range of third party applications.

The Nokia N800 is commercially available immediately in the United States and in selected markets in Europe at estimated retail price of 400$. The first implementation of Skype on the Nokia N800 is expected to be made available for download by the end of first half of 2007.
