The Internet Tablet Nokia N800

Headress already to speak a little of which it has seemed us the terminal Nokia N800 who there are been proving in Xataka during days. Before, if you want, him you can throw a look in the videos that we recorded for mostrate how it is and some of its main functions.

We remembered to you what gadget is: it is not a moving body but a device to sail by Internet via WiFi and that counts on reproduction functions multimedia and videoconferencia thanks to its camera integrated Web.

If right now it had to define it in a pair of words, it would describe like typical gadget whim, of which you know that you do not need but that when you animate yourself to buy it him extractions all the benefit of the world. One becomes your companion, in spite of its limitations, that have them.

That that story is exactly what it passed me to my to the few hours to have it in my hands: I removed it from the box, that bring cover, shipper, cable of data, MicroSD card of 128 MB with adapter for grooves SD and additional leader, and after a first contact I parked it until the following day. During that time I tried to be convinced that it needed it, of which it was a device that by the price that it has, 400 euros, would be a good purchase.

When on the following day I began to put in task with him, and I did not let myself take by the theory, I began to feel that one would not badly come anything to me from them. With him, it was fallen down in the sofa and it could enjoy navigation by complete pages Web comfortably, via WiFi, without euro of more and with open the Gmail mail will cost to me at any moment. The favorite management of very good era, and the client of the integrated news RSS worked of correct form. In addition, the flash worked perfect, and the videos of Youtube brightened up the moment. The management of Wifi networks is in addition very transparent and effective, as well as the brightness or controls audio of screen.

There it is where the potential of this gadget resides, in its panoramic display of hi-res of 4,1 inches (800×480 pixels), inlaid in a thin, single body 13 mm of slight thickness and (206 grams), with integrated tablecloth support and to be able to reproduce archives multimedia, that was in the end, one of the functionalities that used more. The audio one behaved well, but it is with the complete screen video as I could really enjoy. The admitted formats multimedia are not bad, among them, AAC, AMR, MP2, MP3, RA, WAV, WMA, BMP, GIF, ICO, JPEG, png, tiff, SVG-tiny, 3GP, AVI, H.263, MPEG-1, MPEG-4 and RealVideo. With archives pdf bucket of excellent way, being tremendously comfortable and addictive and simple to visualize this type of archives in its screen without fear to lose the Vista in the attempt.

What one lay down in lack, but surely no longer we would be speaking of a thin terminal and light, manageable after all, it is the integrated hard disk, to the Archos style. The N800 counts just by 128 MB of internal memory, and is necessary to make use of cards microSD to obtain that necessary extra space. That yes, counts on two grooves for cards of formats SD, MicroSD, MiniSD, MMC and RS-MMC.

As far as the integrated loudspeakers, considering that the content visualization is going to be personal, he is acceptable.

Speaking of the subject of keyboards, now that he is so fashionable the one of the sliding ones under the moving body, the one that this Integra device in the screen is enough good, and is a perfect complement for the recognition of writing in its touch screen, that is precise but it was not to me comfortable.

In summary we can say that we are speaking of gadget to which they are possible to be removing utilities to him as is used more and more, of the one than we have liked their screen, S.O, that sometimes remained a little thinking, its functions multimedia but in which we missed than it is by itself a moving body and power of this form to obtain total connectivity when there is no WiFi (abroad, if the open networks do not proliferate does not have more utility than like reproductive multimedia or viewfinder of archives), that improves its interaction with the computer and a battery with greater autonomy.


Being the CES, he is inevitable to be speaking of some devices preSenates in the fair. That Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is put on sale (also in Spain by 400 euros) it comes to indicate that the brilliant experiment of Nokia 770 has been a success: a portable device based Linux with Wi-Fi, VoIP and reproduction multimedia that was anticipated to the UMPC. Brilliant that the line opened by Nokia based on an open philosophy has given to results the sufficiently satisfactory thing them like insisting on her: Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is the same but with better benefits, more memory (256 megas of Flash ram by 128 of SDRAM) and more powerful processor, in addition to card support SD and one camera VGA.



In the less positive side to indicate the agreement so that Skype is in Nokia 800. It is not that it seems to me bad of in case (that everyone makes versions of its software where wants), but I hope that it is not an one step back in the policy of Nokia by the interoperability in the VoIP (Nokia N80).

Since I am proving the HTC Tytn, I have not been able to avoid to make a comparison fast. In my opinion, with the lowered constant of the connections 3G, at the time of choosing a movable device servant would not bet by whom it only had Wi-Fi. Certain that a telephone 3G and taking advantage of bluetooth Nokia N800 Internet Tablet could be sailed, but no longer he is independent. In addition we have the sliding keyboard of the Tytn, whereas the one of the Nokia N800 is of which they appear in screen to key in with the leader.

In any case I continue hoping something really powerful in the movable devices to connect itself. The UMPC are very expensive, the VistaGami not yet have arrived (and I do not believe that they are able to be cheap), these tablet of Nokia are enough good (but by its size and price one tends to compare them with pda that also is telephones) and to the PDA type HTC Tytn it seems to me that them lack usabilidad, general improvements in the interface.
