“Don’t call it a comeback I been here for years” as LL once said, that’s the way I kinda feel about the Nokia 810 internet tablet. Tablets in various shapes and form factors have been around for some time but now that’s all changed. The Nokia 810 tablet is sleeker, faster, better equipped and most of all comes WiMax ready! Yes, that means blazing-ly fast speeds in your pocket. So on election night I pulled out the N810 and used it to manage my need to send twitter election updates and to watch streaming CNN video – YES you heard me right. AND what makes the N810 experience so pleasurable is the 800×400 screen resolution that fits in your pocket, which is much better than the typical 320×240 and 480×320 resolution on most handheld devices-this means no more endless scrolling when viewing webpages.
I posted this comparison photo of the N810 tablet and the MacBookPro both displaying the www.BarackObama.com website so you can see the details.
My downside of the N810 is that it’s not a phone. I wish is was, I want it to be! Now don’t get me wrong it has WiFi and WiMax built-in so you can feel free to Skype away but I want more than that especially at around $500. People that defend the device don’t consider this device a smartphone. I agree with that, it’s in its own class; it’s a web access tool, VoIP phone, mp3 player, video player, video chat machine etc…you name it. It just not a phone.
