Nokia N900 Mobile Computer Arriving this Holiday Season

The highly anticipated Nokia N900 mobile computer will finally arrive at store near you by this holiday season.  You can pre-order now at $649.  The N900’s browser is based on the engine that powers Firefox and Fennec. It is fully flash support –  Flash 9.4.  With Flash support, you can watch video with Flash based.  About 90% of videos on the Internet is based on the Flash program.  For example, this Youtube video you about to watch is based on Flash.  N900 comes with a large touchscreen 3.5 inch display and a 800 x 480 resolution.

At the heart of the N900 is its powerful 600 MHz processor and up to 1GB of application memory. The ARM Cortex – A8 superscalar microprocessor core running at 600 MHz, which is the same processor you would find in the current iPhone 3GS and Palm Pre (although they are manufactured from different companies).  The N900 is running on a Linux-based operating system with 3D graphics accelerator Open GL ES 2.0 support.  The 3D Open GL ES 2.0 support allows many games with Open GL support to be run on it.

The N900 mobile computer comes with a built-in 32 GB storage.  This is big enough to store up to 7,000 of your favourite songs or 40 hours of DVD-quality video.  It also comes with an external microSD card that support up to the maximum 16GB microSD card, of course this will change when the new 32GB microSD card comes out later next year.

On the wireless side, the N900 mobile computer supports high-speed broadband.  You will need to buy a wireless service from a major mobile carrier to get Quadband GSM connection, which I assume is a must have for this mobile device.

  • 3.5G and WLAN connectivity
  • Quadband GSM with GPRS and EDGE
  • Data transfers over a cellular network 10/2Mbps
  • Data transfers over Wi-Fi 54Mbps
  • Flash 9.4 support
  • Full-screen browsing

The N900 mobile computer has a gigantic 5-megapixel digital camera that is installed with a Carl Zeiss optical lens and dual flash.  You will be able to capture vivid images and DVD-quality widescreen video with the integrated 5-megapixel camera. The Carl Zeiss optical lens will add great clarity, and the dual LED flash lets you take better shots at night.  The Nokia N900 mobile computer features a fully integrated QWERTY keyboard and integrated A-GPS, which has a Ovi Maps pre-installed.

With all these features and functions, you might ask “Why don’t I get an iPhone or Palm Pre instead”?  Well as you can see, the spec of this mobile computer is almost twice as much as the multi-media mobile phones.  Only if it has phone capability then it would be perfect.
