The Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is a wireless Internet appliance from Nokia, originally announced at the Las Vegas CES 2007 Summit in January 2007. The N800 was developed as the successor to the Nokia 770. It is designed for wireless Internet browsing and e-mail functions and includes software such as FM and Internet radio, an RSS news reader, image viewer and media players for selected types of media. Sprint will offer a Mobile WiMAX-enabled version of the N800 to North American customers in 2008.[1]

Specifications

  • Processor: OMAP2420 microprocessor at 330 MHz.
  • Memory: 128 MB of RAM and 256 MB of flash memory.
  • Connectivity: IEEE 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth 2.0, and USB 2.0 high-speed.
  • Display & Resolution: 4.1 inches 800×480 at 225dpi, (the same as the 770.)
  • Expansion: 2 full-sized Secure Digital card slots, one internal and one external, each capable of up to 8 GB.
  • Camera: built-in webcam
  • Audio: microphone, stereo speakers, FM radio tuner, 3.5 mm Headphone jack (compatible with standard stereo headphones, but also containing a fourth pin with microphone input). The headphone jack also functions as the antenna for the FM radio.
  • Operating System: Linux-based Maemo 3.2 in the form of Internet Tablet OS 2007.
  • The N800 supports Flash 9 and Skype internet calls as of July 6, 2007, which allows users to better browse YouTube videos, and play online flash games, as well as making free internet calls to other Skype-enabled devices.

Software

The operating system, Internet Tablet OS 2007, is a modified version of Debian GNU/Linux (running Linux 2.6.18), including an X Window System-based graphical user interface in the form of a window manager incorporating the GTK+ toolkit and Hildon user interface widgets. BusyBox replaces many common Linux system utilities. The device includes a PDF viewer and the Opera Web browser (Mozilla based browser is also available[2]) with Flash 9 support, along with a media player application.

The device originally shipped with the FM Tuner application "disabled". It was trivial to enable the FM tuner and add it to the home screen[3]. Shortly afterwards, the N800 application catalogue was updated to include the FM Tuner application [4], which allowed for easy one-click installation.

Third party applications

One of the strengths of the N800 over similar devices is that due to the open source Linux based operating system, there are many third party applications. Some are original software, others are ports from desktop Linux.

Some notable applications include:

Problems

According to Nokia customer support the N800 does not support 802.1X authentication with EAP-TTLS and PAP. [citation needed]
