Nokia has just released a new update (v.4.2007.26-8) for the N800 Internet Tablet.
Here are the new features:
Skype client support
After downloading the new software for the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet and installing Skype, users are ready to make free Internet Calls to other Skype users and low cost calls to landline or mobile phone wherever there is a wireless connection. From coffee shops to offices, to hotels or even on the beach, users will now be able to make Skype calls anywhere they can find a wi-fi hotspot. The Skype user experience familiar from desktop includes also chat, presence, contact details and account management features. The feature upgrade includes easy and quick installer for Skype client.
Adobe® Flash® 9 browser plug-in
Adobe® Flash® 9 browser plug-in has been one of the most wanted features requested by the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet users. The upgrade to Adobe® Flash® 9 browser plug-in opens the door to many rich media websites and considerably improves web usability. It also improves substantially the media performance when using video streaming services.
Up to 8 GB memory card support
More music and more videos imply more memory resources. Memory card support has increased from 2 GB to up to 8 GB, covering most part of the range of memory cards available in the market nowadays.
With two memory card slots the devices memory capability is extendable up to 16 GB. Over 2 GB SD memory cards must be SDHC compatible.
Other Improvements
A lot of work has been done into increasing the battery life of the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet. Most of the improvements have been done around the wireless connection, resulting in remarkably longer online usages.
The new Internet Tablet OS brings some improvements at an application level as well. The most visible change is clarification of Now Playing and Library modes for Media Player. The contents of the cards are also scanned faster than before.
Touch screen sensitiveness has been improved through software enhancements. Now the screen areas with most intensive use register events more efficiently.
I look forward to verifying if battery has really improved. I experienced a few annoying issues with my device and I’m not alone according to the comments I’ve received from my readers.
In addition, here is the Skype client pre-viewed a few days ago during a conference. Looking forward to trying it out and compare it to the Gizmo client already installed. The plus of Gizmo is that it is capable of making video calls, while Skype isn’t yet.
