Nokia N810 (Unlocked)

Description

 Nokia introduced the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet, a pocket-sized device able to connect to Wi-Fi hotspots and Bluetooth mobile devices to make internet calls, check Google Mail or Facebook Accounts, watch videos on YouTube, update blogs using the device's slide-out keyboard along with its touch screen, or find the way using built-in maps and satellite navigation. With the ability to check emails, read the latest gossip online or IM to friends, share moods on favorite social sites; call via Skype, or get closer by the Gizmo video chat - with the integrated VGA camera - users will never be far away from those they want to keep in contact with. The N810 has an integrated GPS receiver which allows consumers to pinpoint their position and find a wide variety of points-of-interests using the pre-loaded maps. Upgrade to Wayfinder's voice-guided navigation for turn-by-turn directions and explore the world on foot or in the car.

 The N810 offers up to 45 hours of music playback and memory to store up to 7,500 songs on an optional 10GB memory card. Its large 4.13-inch, 800 x 480 px resolution wide screen makes viewing images easier than traditional devices. The N810 is powered by maemo Linux based OS2008, updatable also on the Nokia N800, the previous internet tablet generation hardware. The N810 features a customizable user interface and contains Mozilla based browser with Ajax and Adobe flash 9, Bluetooth headset support as well as video and audio features. The refreshed Video Gizmo, Skype and Rhapsody highlight some downloads available while Boingo Wireless, Earthlink and The Cloud enable Wi-Fi connectivity, across thousands of different locations globally. Nokia N810 Internet Tablet is very exciting for mobile Linux enthusiasts. Significant API changes between Maemo 3.2 and Maemo 4.0 prevent some applications from working on both. Fortunately, the Maemo 4.0 beta SDK has been available for some time now, making it possible for developers to get a head start on updating their applications for compatibility with the new platform. Nokia and the Maemo community have been working hard to push GTK modifications upstream. Hildon 2.0—the underlying widget toolkit in Maemo 4.0—has only a few minor deviations from GTK 2.10, which means that porting desktop GTK applications to the N810 is vastly easier than it has ever been with previous versions. The transition to Maemo 4.0 also adds several new frameworks, including the Cairo vector graphics rendering library and the HAL hardware abstraction layer. According to Maemo 4.0 documentation, HAL manages memory cards, keyboard status, camera status, and the ambient light sensor. This means that third-party application developers will be able to use D-Bus to easily ascertain the current ambient light level and whether or not the keyboard is open or closed. Maemo 4.0 also includes improvements to the theming system and the new extensible, open source Hildon Input Method system. Nokia's OS2008 obviously has a lot to offer developers, but there are plenty of improvements that will please end users as well. The new user interface looks great and includes important usability improvements like better finger-based interaction and more flexible desktop widget layout system. GStreamer improvements also provide support for additional multimedia formats. OS2008 also uses Nokia's new web browser with the Gecko-based MicroB rendering engine.
