Nokia Bows QWERTY-equipped N810 Internet Tablet

Already dubbed an "iPhone without the phone" by some, Nokia's Wi-Fi-enabled N800 Internet Tablet just got an impressive update—including a full, slide-out QWERTY keypad and integrated GPS.

Available next month for $480, the N810 expands the N800's WVGA touch screen to more than four inches diagonally, and it boasts an updated, Linux-based OS that includes some interface tweaks, plus an impressive Web browser complete with Ajax and Flash support (yep, standard YouTube videos will work, although performance depends on the strength of your Wi-Fi signal). Navigation fiends will be happy to learn that the N810 adds integrated GPS, so no need for an external Bluetooth GPS module. No phone, but VoIP users can try the on-board version of Skype, while music lovers can listen to tunes over the updated Rhapsody streaming music app.

Of course, the N810's more notable improvement is its full, QWERTY keyboard, and it's a beaut—I got some hands-on time with it earlier this week, and typing was a breeze on the roomy keypad. Also included in the package: stereo speakers, Bluetooth 2.0 support, up to 10GB of memory expansion, and a VGA camera.
