Another Nokia Internet tablet with built-in wireless

Now that the Nokia 770 has been on the market for quite some time now, the world's largest mobile phone maker has unveiled the new N800 Internet Tablet just yesterday at the CES show in Las Vegas as it hopes to keep customers interested in the "laptop supplement" product with built-in wireless (WiFi and Bluetooth at the moment).


In fact, Nokia said that it is working with VoIP provider Skype (part of eBay) to deliver mobile Internet services to Skype's 136 million users. Now -- that's a departure of significant proportions. The older 770 tablet did not have a "killer app" like this.

Allowing the Skype crowd to send and receive messages, voice and video calls and other things right from the N800 would be the main selling point for this product I believe. Just use the PC for PC tasks and the N800 for all your communications tasks using Skype -- or so Nokia hopes you believe.
