Nokia: New Internet Tablet to come in 2H 2009

Damian Koh | Jun 05, 2009

"There're certainly some new products coming along from that Internet Tablet range in the product roadmap. There's already one that will be launched in the second half of the year." Those were the words from Nokia's Vice President of Sales in Southeast Asia Pacific, Chris Carr, during a group interview session at the launch of the N97 in Kuala Lumpur this evening. Carr remained coy when we pressed for more details, though the buzz on the Web is on the N900 Rover tablet that's rumored to succeed the N810 Internet Tablet.

Word has it that the N900 will run Maemo 5 and will be fitted with a 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen, OMAP3430 500/600MHz processor, 5-megapixel autofocus camera with dual-LED flash and 32GB of onboard memory. Connectivity options include HSPA, Wi-Fi and built-in GPS. It's also said that the announcement will come as early as July. Granted that we were referencing information from two different sources, one official and one from a tipster courtesy of MobileCrunch, it's safe to assume there will be at least one new tablet from the Finns this year. Nokia is as usual tight-lipped about its product roadmaps, but I guess it wouldn't be too long before we hear more news on this.
