Review: The Nokia N800 Internet Tablet |

"The N800 is an
evolutionary step above the older model, the N770. It features a
(rumored, faster 320 Mhz ) TI CPU, two SD slots, 128 MB RAM, 256 MB
flash storage, 4.1" 800x480 touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth, 3.5mm
headphones jack and mini-USB port. On the top of the device you will
find the zoom buttons, the fullscreen on/off button and the microphone
while on the front of the device there is a 5-way joypad and 3
additional buttons: close application/window, application's menu and
task-switch. On the left side there is a retractable VGA video-call
camera. Below the device you will find a very practical kickstand,
which is very nice if you are using your N800 to watch movies."
