Wireless Broadband Next Generation: Nokia N810 WiMax Edition

Nokia officially announced the newest Nseries device, the Nokia N810 WiMax Edition at CTIA Wireless 2008. This device's specs are similar to the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet but takes advantage of the new wide-area high-speed mobile WiMAX networks. WiMAX networks keep the connection going when Wi-Fi hotspots are out of reach and tethering to a 3G phone via Bluetooth is too much of a hassle.

Multimedia Computer: Nokia N96

The Nokia N96 features a 2.8-inch display with 16GB of memory that’s extensible with a microSD card slot. It displays Live TV with DVB-H technology, and includes a program guide and interactive services. The N96 is a multimedia computer with build-in 3D stereo speakers, integrated A-GPS and Nokia Maps. It has a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss Optics. Wow.

View Web pages with Nokia Web Browser with Mini Map. It allows you to zoom out to full screen, find the section you want and zoom into the content. And the text adjusts to the size of the screen. The browser even keeps track of the browsing history.

Did I mention it's a phone too?

The Nokia N810 Internet Tablet is intended for users who use the Internet extensively. It connects via Wi-Fi hotspots or Bluetooth connections. What I find a little daunting is the "Internet Tablet" moniker but it's really not much larger than the iPod touch. Here's how they compare (click on the table to view full size).
