Today, I am asking two questions. The first and most important to me:
What's your favorite development on the Nokia Internet Tablet platform so far? This can be hardware, software, third-party applications, people-acquisition, partnerships, or more. Leave your answer in a comment to this post.
The second is a poll in it's usual right side-bar on tabletblog.com:
Do you carry your Internet Tablet around with you?
- Yes - the Internet Tablet is always in my pocket.
- Usually - It's handy to have, but I can leave it behind.
- Sometimes - When I think I'll need it.
- Rarely - Only in specific situations.
- Never - It's used at home or at the office exclusively.
"Would you spend $40-$50/month for WiMAX service on your Internet Tablet?"
Yes. | 21 (9%) |
Yes, but only if I can share the connection with other computers. | 69 (30%) |
No. It's too expensive for what it provides. | 77 (33%) |
No. WiFi/Bluetooth is enough. | 63 (27%) |
60% of users say no outright. 30% wish to use their WiMAX Internet Tablet as a modem for other devices (myself included.) and only 9% say that it's a good price plan for the service. We'll see what Sprint/Clearwire/XOHM (or whatever it turns out to be) offers.
Finally: If you own a Nokia N810, visit the OS2008 User Site from your tablet and click on "Nokia N810 survey" icon displayed above. There are about a dozen questions about usage and participants will be entered to win an Internet Tablet music package with Nokia Advanced Headphones and Nokia Mini Speakers. I started filling in the survey myself, but would rather have one of you win the prizes so did not enter.

For me, it would probably be the n810 and its ongoing development. The transflective screen is great. GPS is an added bonus even if it is quirky. USB Host mode is just offstage.
The fact that it is getting progressively better - from the 770 to the n800 which is a bargain around $200, to the n810 and beyond.
So I can expect it to improve as time goes on. That is better than any single development which might occur but remain static.
I would say the transflective screen as well. If you're going to be on the go, you might as well be able to read the tablet outside. And if you use GPS outside (like I do), it's almost a must.

Thanks Fred. I hate Blogger at times. It's fixed!
Maemo, hands down.
Maemo Mapper.
Their whole commitment to the platform. Every version of the IT is an improvement on the last, however there's no big Apple-style push to force everyone to upgrade.
And maemo-mapper :)

Oh, and A2DP support! Ha ha ha! Arg... :(
It is still FBReader, which was one of the 1st 3rd party apps on the 770.
I don't understand why Nokia has not added a commercial ebook reader option. It was perhaps different when the 770 came out, but today I'm sure Nokia could easily add either MOBI or eReader DRM support to a binary-only version of FBReader for next to no cost.
skype is what got me to buy the n800 and I use it for con calls when working from home but now that I got my dad an n800 we use the gtalk with video as our main communication.
