The Register has weighed in on the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet.
Best part:
Wi-Fi is certainly the preferred connection mechanism for the device, which will happily connect to a network, download RSS feeds and email, and disconnect, all without the user being aware. Indeed, whilst wandering around London with the N800 in my pocket it had been downloading up-to-date information without my knowledge. In a mobile phone such behaviour would be annoying, as it would probably incur network charges, but on a Wi-Fi tablet it was pleasant to have this information close to hand when I wanted it, without having to think about when to connect or where.
Can't say that I agree with reviewer Bill Ray's opinions or conclusions. Wrapup line: "The Nokia N800 is a fun toy that could possibly be the future of mobile telephony. Or perhaps not." Gotta Have It score: 75%.Read the full article. (http://www.internettablettalk.com/2007/01/27/the-register-reviews-the-n800/)
