Nokia Tablet

#1 Post by dwilsonfl » Mon Apr 28, 2008 12:48 pm

I'm really trying to fins something in between my Thinkpad and my Treo for primarily wifi use with web apps, and palm like apps. Anyone tried out any of the Nokia tablets for those purposes?

I have an N800. From a quick look on the specs, the screen is probably the biggest advantage over the Treo. Weight is comparable, size is a bit larger. It can take SDHC cards. The N810 has a hardware keyboard, though it probably wouldn't be as good as your Treo's, and takes miniSDHC. What information are you looking for specifically?

I'm wanting to run Palm software, get good wifi connections with a pretty good browser so I can use Google Apps and GMail on a screen large enough to read. I'd definitely need card storage capability and a kyb would be nice. But I usually stay about 3-5 years behind the bleeding edge.

I'm not sure, but I think Garnet VM has you covered here.

Yeah, sounds reasonable. If you get an N800, make sure to upgrade it to OS 2008 (the newest firmware/operating system) so you can get a browser with better Ajax support.

The onscreen keyboard isn't bad. With sound enabled, there's auditory feedback of clicking a key and I find this helps a lot. It's still not a physical keyboard, of course.

The N810 with physical keyboard is relatively new, and still pricy (>$300).
