this is not so new - if you follow the Nokia Internet Tablet and Maemo recent progress, you probably already knew that a new tablet should be out before 2010. Since 2005, Nokia has already release 3 generations of Internet Tablets - 4.1" 800x480 screen, WiFi and Bluetooth enabled, Linux OS, both nokia and community supported applications and more. The last device N810 was released around early 2008 (if i remembered correctly) and since then, many have been waiting for the next update.

right after i jotted down my thoughts, partly because Dan is following up with today's announcement from Nokia, we now have some pretty good news (at least for me). Ari Jaaksi made some announcement and it looks like the Internet Tablet's successor will be further "pimped" with goodies the community has been requesting (at least some).

been a while i follow up with the development of the Nokia Internet Tablets (770, n800 and n810). Not that i don't care about it anymore, but it seemed such units are more like toys to geeks then something that really help us in our daily lives. Ok, until n810, the rest are really nice as proof of concepts that show what potential such units can have. The n810 is the first one that i finally say "wow, now i can do more on a mobile unit than any other". But that was also almost a year ago.

if you have got yourself a N800 or N810, and wish to use it for productivity purposes, the latest tutorial from Tablet School might interest you. It is already known that USB host mode is supported via a software update, but if you are lazy or afraid to try it out, the tutorial will give you a video how-to to get it working!

so time to get yourself a USB keyboard or USB to PS/2 adaptor for your favourite keyboard and boast it with your IT :)

well, reporting away from home. ahem ahem.

if you have been following the development of different gadgets, especially the linux ones, you will surely not want to miss this. The Nokia N810 is released today (for those still having 17.10.2007) (hmm, one day before the Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon is released :P). In my case as i read it it is already 18th now.

time to use and play with it... :) was thinking to myself, how to actually use such a device? Now i have some suggestions for you...
