Nokia devices go on a road trip
July 4th, 2008
Matthew, writing on Darla Mack’s pages, is currently on a family vacation, and is testing several devices on the way.
Using an N95-3 and an N810 as his main ‘computers’ (Matthew has a laptop, but wants to see if the devices can replace it), and an LD-3W GPS unit, he is attempting to navigate his way around the Northwestern US without using a paper map. He is currently deciding which ‘man’ to argue with (we all do it) – the British, the American or the Spanish guy – and the kids are having a giggle at his expense. On the serious side, though, he’s found the Bluetooth LD-3W unit to be less of a battery drain than GPS on the device. He says the guidance has been ‘more helpful than annoying’, so look out for further updates of the family’s adventures.
Have you tried, like Matthew, to survive just using your devices? Have you got any advice on what he should try? Jump over to the site and let him know what you suggest.

N810 GPS – Diablo helps secure a lock
July 1st, 2008
Over at the TabletBlog, Thoughtfix has tested his N810 –using the latest update to Diablo – to see if his GPS works quicker than usual.
The oft-bemoaned speed of the GPS fix in this NIT has long been a bugbear of users, and Diablo ‘purports’ to have A-GPS, and Thoughtfix reckons the triangulation powers - not by using cellphone masts, but a mix of masts, WiFi and ‘fragmented GPS signals’ – gets him a fix quicker. His test, carried out in a moving vehicle, seemed to prove that theory right. Initially slow, once the N810 was rebooted, the GPS lock was very quick, and even after a couple of days – and in a different location – the device found the satellite very quickly.
What are your experiences of the N810 and GPS? Have you found Diablo helps? Head over and let Thoughtfix know what you think.

N810 unboxing video
June 29th, 2008
Over on Tracy and Matt’s Blog Matt has posted their unboxing of the Nokia N810, a device that remains as popular as ever 8 months after it was announced.
Having reviewed the N800 (and N770) in the past, and longed for a Qwerty keyboard, Matt was keen to try the N810, and the unboxing therefore comes from the point of view of a seasoned IT user. The unboxing features a look at what’s in the box (as you’d expect!), plus a trip round the N810’s hardware and software features all packed with stats and info.
Jump over to see the video, and make sure you check back for their full review in the near future.

N810 is difficult to get to grips with
June 24th, 2008
GSI-R, writing on GSi-R’s blog has put the N810 through the mill, including several very fetching and colorful snaps of the device!
Unfortunately it isn’t a great result for the Nokia Internet Tablet, which GSI-R found ‘odd’ and ‘heavy’ and was unable to get along with at all well. Other down sides were the quiet speakers though there was respite with the OS and battery life proving there is life in the N810 after all.
GSI-R suggests that maybe a lack of time with the device is responsible for the feelings displayed? What do you think? Is there any advice you could pass on that might ease GSI-R’s path with the N810? Jump over to leave a comment.

N810 misses the mark
June 23rd, 2008
Conor O’Neill writing over on Argolon has covered his experiences with the N810 Internet Tablet, and it isn’t too warm a write-up to say the least.
Having started with an N770 back in the day, Conor was keen to try the N810 and see if it had overcome some of the issues the older tablet had. Initially things looked good with improved speed and updated software, but for Conor that was about it. He can’t abide the ‘terribly unresponsive’ screen, nor the seeming inability to use Gmail to name but two. Jump over for his full views.
What are your thoughts? Is Conor missing some key aspects of the tablet? Have you got any advice for him? Jump over to leave your thoughts.

Some thoughts on the Maemo home screen…
June 18th, 2008
Interesting post from Thoughtfix over on tabletblog.com (did we expect anything less?)
Having been inspired by the release of Origami Experience 2.0 for Vista this week, Thoughtfix has turned his attention to the Maemo homescreen and the applets that reside there. He reckons there is a missed opportunity from developers to create a constantly updating screen (like Origami, and the RSS feeder on Maemo for example) that can be used for quick reference.
It seems some people are already using the N8×0 tablets in this way however, as there are plenty of commenters listing the home screen applets they use on a day to day basis to keep up to date with the world.
Interesting post if you’ve never explored the Home screen’s potential, Jump over to read more.

Internet Tablet musing in the iPhone 3G aftermath
June 11th, 2008
Writing over on tabletblog.com, Thoughtfix has covered a couple of points that have come to him out of the mist of the iPhone 3G release.
In a couple of posts surrounding the same issue, thoughtfix compares the iPhone to the N810 and lists his reasons why he thinks the N810 will win out on a number of counts. The comments are mixed on this, but an interesting idea does come from MDK which leads thougthfix to write a follow-up post…
This article concerns whether independent developers on maemo will ever be able to monetize their apps as the iPhone crowd will soon be able to do. Again, there’s a mixed response with one view being that a more consumer friendly approach to software on the N8×0 tablets could be a real boon for sales of teh device.
What do you think? Do you think the Internet Tablets still have what it takes? Jump through the links above to have your say on either post.

Internet Tablets, huh, what are they good for?
June 10th, 2008
The boards at Internet Tablet Talk are buzzing with an age old question - what are the N8×0 internet tablets for?
It’s all kicked off with an uber post from ddalex, who started with an N770 back in the day, but is disappointed that the Internet tablet format hasn’t matured into something more powerful. Cue discussion on whether the tablets need to do anything more than browse, whether consumers have unrealistic expectations given available technology, what the alternatives are and dreams for the future. A nice thread for anyone not entirely sure if they want or need an IT and for you long time users to get stuck in.

Nokia BH-703 headset reviewed
June 6th, 2008
While devices may in themselves be great things, they can be improved even further with the addition of the odd enhancement or two…
Gerrymoth, he of Nokia Addict, has shown just what a bluetooth headset can bring to the party by
reviewing the Nokia BH-703 headset, a ‘cool’ looking in-the-ear headset that offers USB charging - a great addition in Gerrymoth’s eyes. Despite these plus points however, the headset just wouldn’t stay in his ear very easily, which is obviously frustrating for such a product and was the one thing that stopped enjoyment from what else was on offer.
