The press release is finally posted!
Excerpt from the marketing talk:
"By delivering the kind of open Internet experience that consumers previously only expected on a desktop PC, the Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition is a compelling example of how next generation broadband wireless technology will not only change the way people think about the Internet, it will change the very nature of the Internet itself," said Ari Virtanen, Vice President of Convergence Products for Nokia.
The press release also says:
The Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition is expected to be available in the United States during the summer of 2008 in areas where WiMAX connectivity is available.
As for myself - I can't wait to see it in action. The device is now on nseries.com too. They call it N810 WME int he URL, so I'll start calling it that too.
Current Internet Tablet users have something to look forward to as well:
Also being introduced with the Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition is the newest Internet Tablet operating system. This new upgraded OS2008 introduces useful new features to the platform, including an enhanced e-mail client, support for Chinese character rendering in the browser and RSS feeds and Seamless Software Update functionality to eliminate manual software updates, making periodic updates of the operating system quick and easy. While standard on the Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition, current owners of Nokia N810 and N800 Internet Tablets with earlier operating systems will be able to upgrade their device to the revised operating system for free during the second quarter of 2008.

It is awesome how that nseries page requires flash, and runs horribly slow on the tablet. Saying "The real internet" is now mobile, on a page that requires more screen width than the devices even have... a real nice touch, dumbasses.
WTF is wrong with Nokia??!
That has bugged the hell out of me too, Anonymous! Why would they make the official product page nearly unviewable on the product?
Because the people in charge of the tablet project live in CLOUD KOOKOO LAND!!!
some kind of disconnect between the people making the page and the people making the device i would bet.
hell, right after apple started making widecreen the default on their machines, i started bumping into pages that was fitted to widescreen only...
so ummmmm
does this new 2008OS have full a2dp that functions decently yet
That woman in the video presentation said they were going to sell these sweet tablets in the US only... Damn it! That's unfair :(
In your earlier posts on it, you said we'd see at CTIA a couple of unexpected features we'd been wanting for a long time.
Now that the N810W's been announced, what are they?
I can't see anything unexpected in the announcements and specs (apart from a better UI for managing the seamless upgrade), and the hoped-for video in Skype hasn't materialised.
Were you wrong, and they haven't turned up? Even if so, I'd still be interested in what you *thought* was coming,
Andrew: They're in that paragraph! Claws mail and a new update schema will be in the next OS2008
dan: modest != claws-mail
It's been long known, and no secret, that modest and apt-based upgrades would come with diablo - the next release of maemo; and that this (v4.1) would be released on the N810W.
I was hoping for a *real* surprise with all the cloak-and-dagger stuff ;-)
