| Nokia's cheap UMPC alternative is future-proof |
|---|
I have recently carried my heavy Athlon 64 notebook with me to a conference 400+ miles from home. I also had Nokia's new N800 "Internet Tablet" in my pocket. Next year, the notebook will stay at home.
Nokia released its first Linux-based pocket tablet a couple years ago. The 770 was a good proof of concept but failed to ignite the public imagination. Recently, the firm released the N800, the 770's successor, and with it, the expensive UMPC vendor camp and the PDA vendors both have something to worry about. At the same time, road warriors needing web browsing and e-mail on the go can finally consider leaving notebooks at home, only using them as desktop replacements.
