Put up online are details of what is supposedly Nokia’s upcoming Internet Tablet, possibly called the N900. Apparently codenamed ‘Rover’, the N900 is said to look very similar to the N810 Internet Tablet, with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
The supposed N900 Internet Tablet could feature a smaller 3.5-inch WVGA resolution touchscreen display. Most importantly, the device is supposed to be powered by Texas Instruments’ OMAP3430 processor, the same as that in the Palm Pre. Connectivity is believed to include WiFi and 3G support, though exact frequencies are still unknown.
This N900 is believed to be much like the Nseries line, with a 5 megapixel autofocus camera with video capture and 32GB of internal storage. The new tablet is believed to be powered by Nokia’s Maemo5 Linux-based operating system. This new Internet Tablet is supposedly planned to be announced in June, with availability in August or September.

We never get tired of talking about the Palm Pre and you never tire of hearing of it, right? Well, here are Palm Pre-goodies, coming to us today by way of the WebOS’s MOJO SDK. WeOS Blog has uncovered new WebOS screens that reveal what happens when you put the Palm Pre into Airplane Mode, pull up the call screen, charge the Palm Pre and even gives us proof that you can crash the WebOS.
When in Airplane Mode, the WebOS replaces your usual carrier logo with “Airplane Mode” and replaces the signal strength indicator with a little airplane logo. The Call Screen is fairly straight forward and the UI is finger-friendly and intuitive. When charging, the WebOS displays a little charging notification in the notification dock area of the homescreen.
Lastly, there is ample proof that the Linux-based WebOS can crash just like its desktop-based counterparts. When you push the Linux kernel past its endurance, Kernal Panic sets in. Well, let us hope that we never have to see our Palm Pre smartphone throwing a Kernel Panic screen at us! Take a look at the pics below and you will know exactly what we are talking about.

The 2009 Mobile World Congress going on at Barcelona, Spain, has thrown up a lot of interesting events. LG Electronics and Intel Corporation have today announced a joint collaboration to create mobile Internet devices (MIDs), based on Intel’s next-gen MID hardware and Linux-based Moblin v2.0 software platforms. This has been named “Moorestown” and the LG device, it is expected, will be one of the very first of such devices to enter the market.
The common goal of LG Electronics and Intel Corp is to give users the ultimate Internet experience reaching across a huge range of mobile devices, while also providing good functionality to the current smartphones available in the market. Intel’s “Moorestown”-based MIDs will hopefully reduce much idle power consumption, in relation to the current Intel Atom processor-based MIDs. Further, the new Moblin v2.0, based on the Linux OS, is expected to deliver a PC-like performance, along with high-end cell phone capabilities.
