BlueMaemo Turns Your Nokia Tablet Into a Wireless Mouse, Keyboard

Elaine Chow — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 23:30:00 EDT

Usually, the only reason we use the keyboards on internet tablets is because we can't get to a more comfortable input device. Still, if you want to turn that on your head, here's a beta application for Nokia Internet Tablets (the N800 and N810 specifically) that let you use them as a keypad and mouse for your main computer. BlueMaemo uses Bluetooth and works with Windows XP, Vista and Linux BlueZ. I guess it could be fun for freaking out anyone who's using your desktop at the time. Can anyone say awesome Halloween prank? [JK on the Run]

There's no news yet, but N800 owners who aren't super-psyched about Google Talk or that open-source voice chat software can soon celebrate the arrival the mother of all voice chat, and yeah, I'm talkin' 'bout Skype.

Nokia N800 Reviewed, Best Internet Tablet Out There

Louis Ramirez — Fri, 19 Jan 2007 08:10:05 EST

Nokia's Internet tablets haven't gotten much fanfare in the past, but according to the folks at Mobile Crunch, their latest silver slab deserves every bit of your attention. Looks-wise, the $399 N800 is sexier and more polished than its predecessor, the blocky 770. Everything from its symmetrical distribution of buttons to its "instant-on" start up make you wanna cradle one in your hands.

The 4.1-inch display is great, thanks to its 800 x 480 resolution and unlike the 770 which choked on certain websites...

the N800 is capable of feeding your MySpace addiction with no troubles, thanks to its speedier CPU. Battery life is respectable at 5 to 6 hours, but where it could use improvement is with its selection of apps. The N800 lacks some sort of Office suite. Pre-formatted movies that support the device's screen/resolution would also be a welcome addition. Otherwise, the N800 is a clear winner. – Louis Ramirez
