Nokia’s latest Internet Tablet has the potential to be a formidable competitor to both the iPhone and Ultra-Mobile PCs. It’s more open to third-party apps than the former and much more affordable than the latter. The N810’s most notable improvements include integrated GPS functionality, a full Web-browsing experienceThe silvery N810 certainly feels more solid and looks more modern than the N800. At eight ounces, it’s actually heavier than its predecessorbut only a tad thicker.

Feature-wise, the N810 is pretty jam-packed. You get an integrated VGA webcam and microphone for Internet calling, via the built-in Skype and Gizmo Project applications. According to Nokia, video calling will be available only through the Gizmo client. With its 4.1-inch widescreen display, the N810 aims to be your multimedia device. The 800 x 480-pixel screen has also been improved for outdoor viewing. Built-in stereo speakers are great for rocking out to Pandora or to your own audio tracks loaded on a memory card. Overall, the interface and controls could be more intuitive, but the learning curve is pretty short.

Because the N810 runs on the maemo Linux-based platform, this device can be personalized easily.Additionally, Nokia hopes to open up this Internet Tablet to commercial developers through Forum Nokia, just as the company has done with the Series 60 platform.
The N810 will be begin shipping in the second week in November and will retail for $479. Stay tuned for a full review.
