Nokia kills WiMAX tablet

Nokia discontinues N810 WiMax Edition

Another name is added to a long and growing list of tech items to be axed by various corporations.  The Nokia N810 Internet Tablet WiMax Edition has been discontinued. WiMax is a wireless network with a longer range than Wi-Fi and aims to take the place of potentially both Wi-Fi and cellular broadband networks.

Nokia spokeswoman Laurie Armstrong did not state reasons as to the removal, but did state that newer technology will be necessary as WiMax tablets begin to grow in use.  Other manufacturers have reported plans to produce WiMax enabled computers.  Until that happens, though, WiMax users will require an external modem.

The Nokia N810 tablet utilized a 4.1” touch-screen monitor combined with a slide-out keyboard in an attempt to overtake gadgets such as the PDA.  The tablet is still available, but without the WiMax modem.
