| Nokia N800 Internet Tablet | Review » |
 Cool though it is, Nokia's new N800 Internet Tablet leaves us with one nagging question: who's it for? At home and on the road, we're carrying our laptop, which does a much better job at what the N800 does best, which is Web surfing. And while the N800 is a much better Web-browsing device than even the smartest of smartphones, it's also much larger, and finding open Wi-Fi networks when you're on the go is trickier than using ubiquitous EDGE or EV-DO networks. That said, if you love browsing the Internet wherever you are, and you're confident about tracking down Wi-Fi connections or nearby Bluetooth DUN phones, the N800 does a superb job as a sub-laptop Internet device. It tackles the best the Web has to offer, and lands on its feet. Release: January 2007. Price: $400.
Pros: Clean design. Nimble and effective page loading. Easy page navigation. Handles difficult content better than smartphones.
Cons: No 3G radio. Wi-Fi had difficulty with our wireless security. No Skype yet. Bare and underwhelming media experience.
