Electronista has confirmed that Nokia is now shipping the N810 internet tablet device to U.S. retailers which means it should be available within the next week or so. The N810 is a update bump for the N800 which replaced the now aged and weak-ish Nokia 770. The tablet is designed as a mobile web and media platform without the benefits of an actual telephony device embedded. Instead, the N810 features 802.11b/g and Bluetooth connectivity options. The 800×640 24-bit color touchscreen is also nice, but the addition of a GPS transceiver and road maps is the real killer addition. Expect, however, to shell out US$479 for the unit as well as US$130 a year for GPS updates. I suppose that if they see that the N810 becomes popular they may axe the GPS update cost, but I doubt it.
