Nokia today introduced the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet, signifying a new phase in portable internet communication. Sporting Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11b/g connectivity, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a full-fledged web browser, there's only one thing missing: WiMAX. However, a WiMAX version of the N810 will be coming next year. In the meantime, the N810's Wi-Fi connectivity will provide Internet access through hotspots as well as home and office networks, including via Boingo Mobile. Applications compiled for the previous two Internet Tablet models will not be compatible with this one. This hurt the N800 a lot too, because most developers didn't care to re-compile their apps as they kept their N770. Hopefully this is the last time Nokia breaks compatibility.

Yet another disappointment as it, yet again, don't support charging via USB port... (just to sell more USB2Nokia adapters?)
Looks really nice, but with a flaw of this size for a portable device I'll pass N810 as I did with N800 and N770 before that. I'm carrying proprietary adapters anymore, just plain simple USB cables and it has to be enough!
Maybe N900? Well, Nokia IS on the group of the unified micro USB for charing mobile devices... I hope that's for real, not just empty promises.
Still... nice software inside. I hope Maemo, Hildon and cia become more and more popular with this mobile devices as they're gaining attention more and more... like this MID devices with Intel. Gnome Mobile seems to be evolving fast too. I hope we can have a real standard for mobile linux/unixes apps real soon.
