Nokia N800

I bought my Nokia 770 Internet Tablet in October and (as I thought might happen), Nokia have just released a new version, the N800.

This was reported on digg yesterday and today I found the official Nokia product page, I expect they will launch it properly at CES this week.

The new model has 128Mb RAM, 256Mb ROM and a VGA webcam and now supports up to two 2GB SD cards instead of single RS-MMC card. It's got a revamped design and has now really gone mainstream, becoming part of the NSeries (like my Nokia N70 mobile phone). This is great news because it shows that the Linux based Maemo operating system is seen to be a success.

Maemo is one of the platforms I would like to port Webscope to. The new hardware will be useful if I start getting X3D rendering and video playback running and will allow video calls as well. There's a long way to go before then though 😛
