Nokia N810 Portable Internet Tablet

Nokia’s N810 “Internet Tablet” sounds a lot like the web tablet TechCrunch has set out to make: it runs an OS based on Linux and has a Gecko-based browser and Skype. It has an 800 × 480 pixel 4.1-inch screen, and sells at Amazon for $380. I’m sure TechCrunch won’t have any problem making a device with a much larger screen that sells for $100 less.
