The mobile phone giant has started shipping the N810, which is priced at about $479. Featuring a slide-out keyboard, the Internet Tablet device bundles Global Positioning System and offers support for digital audio and video playback.

“More than ever, people want to bring their online communities with them wherever they go — whether it’s on vacation, a business trip, or just around their neighborhood — and the pocketable Nokia N810 Internet Tablet lets consumers do just this,” maintained Bill Plummer, Vice President, Multimedia, Nokia North America. “As consumer demand increases for new multimedia experiences, Nokia is taking the leadership position to create new devices that meet this demand and maximize the experience for the user.”

In addition, the N810 incorporates Wi-Fi internet access capabilities and can be used to make calls through VoIP.

Weighing in at only 8 ounces, the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet is powered with Linux based Maemo mobile operating system and comes loaded with a Mozilla-based browser. The browser supports AJAX and Flash 9.
