Nokia N800 Internet Tablet Review (Video)

,----[ Quote ]
| The N800 is great for catching up on those emails and other business
| uses, but it has some nice entertainment features like I mentioned
| before. You can watch videos, listen to music and have Web chats,
| thanks to Internet calling and the Web cam.

| In contrast to the 770, Nokia really nailed it with the N800.
| Almost all of the shortcomings have been addressed, making the
| Internet Tablet an absolute pleasure to use. Is it a must-have
| device? Not really, but I sure enjoy having one.

Nokia adds FM radio to N800 Internet tablet

,----[ Quote ]
| It's not often that a company ships a gizmo with an entire hardware
| feature unremarked upon and unsupported, then later turns it on free
| of charge - but that's what Nokia did with the new N800 Internet
| tablet. They just released a package which enables an FM radio
| tuner in the unit.

A hacker's-eye view of Nokia's N800 Internet Tablet

,----[ Quote ]
| This detailed, hands-on review examines Nokia's Linux-based N800
| Internet Tablet first as a consumer electronics device, and then
| as a platform for open source software development. Reviewer
| Jerry Epplin infuses the review with crotchety humor and
| deeply technical insights.

Reviewers converge on new Nokia Internet tablet

,----[ Quote ]
| The N800 shipped Jan. 6 without a peep -- let alone a press release
| -- from Nokia. Nonetheless, the device seems to be attracting more
| interest, at least from the fourth estate, than did the arguably
| more revolutionary 770 Internet tablet from which it evolved.

Nokia N800 Internet Tablet First Thoughts Review

,----[ Quote ]
| Conclusion
|
| * From a software standpoint, I don't think the N800 is a huge
| step-up from the 770. However, its hardware is noticeably better.
| * I'm glad to see that Nokia seems committed to making its
| Internet Tablet line the best that it can be.

The N800 surfs nicely, but how does it game?

,----[ Quote ]
| The Maemo port of the open-source RPG Nethack absolutely rules:
| a touch-screen RPG for the ages. As for the NES emulator, it
| worked well enough, though it took a while to get adjusted to
| the on-screen button input. Unfortunately, this is where the
| N800 shows its weakness: button layout. With all the buttons
| crammed on the left-hand side and hardly accessible with two
| hands, there's very little hope for much button-based gameplay
| for anything more complex than Tetris or Doom.

UMPCs Take Different Tacks

,----[ Quote ]
| Overall, the PepperPad represents a solid, Linux-based portable platform
| especially for applications that will require text input. For this, it does
| much better than most other UMPCs I've had my hands on.

Intel ditches Vista for its mid-range UMPCs

,----[ Quote ]
| As if it wasn't hard enough for Microsoft, and hardware manufacturers
| to convince consumers that we need another portable device, the choice
| has now become a bit harder because Intel is going to choose to sell
| its mid-range machines with Linux, instead of Windows Vista.
