Submission + - Nokia Takes Third Swing at Internet Tablet

__aajbyc7391 writes: It looks like Nokia is intent on knocking the ball out of the park with its Linux-powered Internet tablets. Today, the company unveiled the N810, its third attempt at hitting a home run with the concept. The new model adds a slide-out hardware keyboard, and also a built-in GPS receiver and FM transmitter (for in-car listening), among a number of other enhancements (such as a faster CPU and more memory). At this point, the device is positioned as an email and browsing tool, a social networking aid, a GPS, a VoIP phone, and a multimedia player (and streamer, thanks to built-in WiFi). But are the fans jumping out of their seats at this latest swing from mobile phone heavy-hitter Nokia?

Submission + - Nokia adds QWERTY to Linux tablet (linuxdevices.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Nokia today announced its third Linux-based Internet tablet. The new N810 tablet is smaller, heavier, and faster, with a slide-out hardware QWERTY thumb keyboard, GPS receiver, FM transmitter (for in-car listening), and a light-sensing screen dimmer. It retains the same ARM11-based processor as Nokia's earlier N800, albeit clocked a bit faster. A full Mozilla-based browser with Flash 9 and Windows Media file support are also new, and are claimed to offer the best AJAX Web 2.0 experience on any mobile device. Next, Nokia plans to add WiMax to its Linux tablets, it has promised.
