Nokia decapitates tablet puppy, upgrades to N800
We're not sure if the new OS or upgraded features actually give it anymore bite, but Nokia's adorable little tablet puppy has on first glance been beheaded and rebuilt with an N800 for a noggin. Actually, after an exhaustive investigation by the Humane Society, it was determined that the 770-based pup was not in fact harmed in some sort of perverse head-swapping operation, but is instead frolicking happily among retired AIBOs and broken Dirt Dogs at the robot hospital. Next up for the family is an N810-crowned model, whose QWERTY grille is sure to make other robot dogs cower in fear. Keep reading to catch a video of this precocious little fellow in action...[Image courtesy of Crave]
AMOI outs N8, N800, and N810 Windows Mobile phones; Nokia grumbles
We're about to get our first official taste of China's AMOI in these parts as the UTStarcom 5700's ODM, and if these suckers are any indication, we should be in good shape. The recently-announced N8, N800, and N810 Windows Mobile 6 Professional devices (pictured from left to right) won't likely find their way out of Asia -- which is just as well, considering the lack of 3G and the fact that Nokia might not be too pleased with the naming convention -- but all three are lookers, if we do say so ourselves. The N8 is the only keyboard-sporting handset of the three, while the N800 sets itself apart with a VGA display. GPS, Bluetooth, and 2 megapixel cameras grace the whole lot. It looks like all three are expected to ship this month, but triband GSM / EDGE is a tough pill to swallow, though, ain't it?[Via Pocket PC Thoughts]Read - Amoi N8Read - Amoi N800Read - Amoi N810
Nokia's next internet tablet hits the FCC
For all you Nokia fanatics waiting for the next-gen follow up to the beloved N800 internet tablet, your journey may be at its end. According to reports dot-dashed into the Engadget offices via a morse-code squawking carrier pigeon, the latest and greatest as-yet-unnamed (but for now called LJPRX-44) non-phone, non-computer device may be heading into your sweaty hands before long. There's not much to glean from the multifarious FCC filings, unless you're a glutton for punishment or an extremely determined wavelength-modulation-test-fan, save that the device will have both WiFi and Bluetooth, and should be the same general size and shape as the N800. Feast your eyes on the labeling above, and if you're really jonesing for some good-old FCC fun, hit the read link.[Via TabletBlog]
Sprint to offer WiMAX-enabled Nokia N800 in 2008?
While we were already looking forward to the N800 Internet Tablet's inevitable successor, it seems like Sprint may have something else in mind. According to LinuxDevices, the operator "will offer a mobile WiMAX-enabled version of Nokia's N800 Internet Tablet to North American customers next year," which reportedly falls in line with the carrier's grand scheme of making 4G services available "to over 100 million people during 2008." Furthermore, Nokia's director of open source, Dr. Ari Jaaksi, was quoted as saying that this here device would "most probably" include WiFi and Bluetooth as well, but as expected, no details regarding a specific launch timeframe were divulged.[Via JustAMP]
Tenacious hacker brings the iPhone keyboard to a Nokia N800
One awfully clever Brazilian programmer couldn't stand not being able to experience the sometimes-maddening act of typing on the iPhone's notorious keyboard -- so he wrote an iPhone keyboard app for his Nokia N800. In what appears to have been a fairly short amount of time, Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri put together an Apple-copyin', typepad act-alike using Python, Edje, and a little elbow grease. Without ever actually using an iPhone, Gustavo seems to have clearly captured the essence of the keyboard, which is either really good or really bad for him... only he knows for sure. Check the video after the break to see the app in action.[Via jkOnTheRun]
Is this the successor to the Nokia N800?
Just when we're in full-on video game mode, along comes a friendly tipster with some shots of the supposed successor to Nokia's N800 Internet Tablet that snap us out of our daze and remind us that there's more to life than Xboxes and PlayStations. No specs are available yet, but we can tell just by looking at this device that the Finnish giant has been listening to user gripes and thrown in a retractable QWERTY keyboard -- a move that will surely win this product line its share of converts. We'll keep our ear to the ground for more details, but until then you can enjoy a few more pics after the break...%Gallery-4711%
Nokia updates N800 with Skype and more
Listen up N800 owners, Nokia just released an update to their Internet Tablet OS 2007 Edition. The update brings Skype client support, Flash 9 browser support, 8GB memory card suport, and "remarkably longer" battery performance when surfing bits over wireless. Yeah, it's not enough to spark mass market appeal, but current owners will surely be stoked. Version 4.2007.26-8, available now.[Via Maemo, thanks Ameh]
Nokia's N800 secretly packing an FM radio chip?
Alright manufacturers, we're totally down with throwing in a bit of draft-N love or even a free FM radio, but seriously, why not activate the goods (without some controversial fee) before shipping these things out? Nokia's N800 Internet Tablet has withstood its fair share of unboxing and dissecting experiments already, and while we've seen one episode of a less-than-thrilling implementation of FM today, the N800's dirty little secret could have been a nice inclusion. If you're wondering why all those reviews never mentioning tuning into their favorite FM station while plugging away, it's likely because only a curious file dweller would find such a gem, and discover he did. Andrew Barr reportedly unearthed an FM radio chip built right into the N800, and even found a dedicated software folder where the application to run it was held. Nokia would probably suggest that a simple lack of time is the reason behind the half-hearted attempt, but if you're still not a believer that the N800 plays nice with those ho hum, commercial-filled broadcasts you love to hate, click on through for a live demonstration.[Via InternetTabletTalk]
Nokia's N800 dissected: look at all the pretty innards!
We've seen plenty of nekkid gadgets in our day, most of which reveal nothing more than the particular warranty-scoffing recklessness of the user that busts open his or her unit for the joy of sharing with others. Nokia's 770 was a notable exception, with hackers discovering an undocumented microphone that turned out to be quite the boon to VoIP junkies. There are no such surprises in this N800 dissection by ThoughtFix, but we're still pretty impressed by how sexy Nokia bothered with making this thing look on the inside. Check out the disassembly on video after the break, or hit up the read link for some snazzy pics.
Nokia N800 Internet Tablet review roundup
We keep calling it an Internet Tablet like Nokia tells us to, hoping that makes it true. You know what we mean: pop-out keyboard, 3G data, other fancy stuff. All the same, there's definitely a lot to love about Nokia's N800 followup to the 770, including that peppier 330MHz Texas Instruments processor and built-in webcam. Looks like the general consensus is that the N800 is a well executed device, with a beautiful screen, but just falls short of mass appeal. Notable notable omissions include PIM functionality and PC syncing, and video playback is a bit choppy. Otherwise, the N800 should appeal to heavy internet users and VoIP junkies with $400 burning a hole in their pockets, but don't expect to replace your laptop, PDA or cellphone just yet.[Thanks, Eugenia]Read - CNET (7.7/10)Read - OSNews (8/10)Read - MobileCrunchRead - BrighthandRead - MobileBurnRead - New York TimesRead - ThoughtFix
Nokia debuts the N800 Internet Tablet to little fanfare
We're sure Nokia will make plenty of fuss over this thing at its press conference today, but for the moment it's like they don't even care that the N800 is out and about in that big scary world. But if you're not too busy trying to keep up with CES news at the moment, or distracted by the million other "must have" gadgets being released this week, you could get your little self over to Nokia.com and snap up this Internet Tablet with four hundies right this second. Of course, we already knew all the specs, like the 4.1-inch 800 x 480 display, 320MHz proc, 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 and built-in camera, but you mightn't have known that this thing measures 0.5-inches thick, and claims 10 days of standby time, with a paltry 3 hours of browsing. UPnP, Skype interoperability (gTalk ain't the only game in town anymore), Internet Tablet OS 2007, it's all there. Alright, we got that out of the way, now does anyone have spy shots of the next one? We're on a roll here. Peep the gallery below for more pics of the N800. Nokia debuts the N800 Internet Tablet to little fanfare
