Nokia N800

“Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is a truly well operating all-in-one Internet-multimedia product, incorporating numerous and properly developed options. It sports a large and beautiful display that ensures the pleasure while viewing Internet pages or watching videos. In addition the open-source core provides for its great flexibility that makes us expect more and more future applications for this operating system. We point out that its main shortcoming is the inability to adequately utilize Bluetooth for audio, which is a must for a lot of people!”

“The Nokia N800 Internet Tablet has integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for accessing the Web on the go and comes with an outstanding browser. It also features a built-in Webcam, a sleeker design, a gorgeous screen, and improved performance. Other goodies include VoIP support, instant messaging, an RSS news reader, a media player, and dual expansion slots. Unfortunately, the video playback on the N800 was subpar, and there is no PC synchronization. The N800 also relies solely on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for connectivity.Though it won't appeal to the masses quite yet, the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is a nice, portable device for on-the-go Web browsing, and it has some worthy upgrades.”

“We can’t help liking the N800, and it's certainly a significant step forward from its predecessor. However, liking a device and seeing a market for it are two different things. Out of the box, the N800 has relatively little allure for the professional user: there's no way to view, edit or create business documents, no real PIM functionality and no PC synchronisation. Even the VoIP capability is hampered by the current lack of a Skype client — although this is expected by the middle of the year.For a wider audience, the N800’s appeal is limited by its reliance on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for internet connectivity, and by its disappointing battery life.”

“There's something refreshing about a portable device that doesn't try to be everything-and instead focuses on a couple of key features. Such is the case with Nokia's second-generation N800 Internet Tablet. It was designed to provide a near-desktop-quality Web browsing experience through a Wi-Fi connection that's easy to set up. It also lets you stay in touch through Voice-over-IP calling with Google Talk, e-mail, instant messaging, and even video calls. Although some users might find its features too pared down and its price a little high, it's still a handy device for surfing the Web.”
