LAS VEGAS—With both Sprint and Clearwire rolling out WiMAX networks this year, devices and handsets supporting those launches are starting to appear. As expected, Nokia says it will have a WiMAX edition of its N810 Internet Tablet ready for those networks.
The N810 WiMAX Edition is the latest in Nokia’s family of Internet tablets, with a large (4.13-inch) touch screen, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a full Mozilla Internet browser, support for VoIP and instant messaging, support for both video and music playback, a built-in web cam, and integrated GPS.
Along with a full featured web browser, powered by Mozilla, that takes full advantage of the Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition’s large 4.13 inch touch screen and slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a variety of popular web-based services are also supported. Many of these applications can be found on Nokia’s dedicated OS 2008 User Site. To keep connected while on-the-go, a number of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Instant Messaging (IM) clients are available, including Skype, Gizmo, and GoogleTalk, which can also take advantage of the Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition’s built-in web cam for video calls. A client for the popular Rhapsody online music service is also available, transforming the Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition into a portable jukebox with millions of songs available to enjoy at a few taps of the screen. Beyond these well-known services, an active developer community has also emerged around the Linux-based Internet Tablet platform, creating additional applications – from games to productivity tools.
