So where is the video out then?

If you have a Nokia N95 8GB model which came with Spiderman 3 you will know that it came with a composite video AV cable (well in the UK it does) which not only allows you to connect your Nokia N95 to a television, but also allows you to show what you are doing. This video out can also be captured using the right equipment. This video out is a really useful feature.

One of the disappoining non-features of the Nokia N810 is that there is no video out, so any video on there has to be watched on the small screen (nice screen, but it’s not very big).

Alas this also means that I can’t capture screen video this way either.

Hmm, a wasted opportunity methinks.

Nokia N810 GPS

I have been playing about with a Nokia N810 for a few weeks now and only today did I manage to get the GPS working at which point five minutes later the battery gave out.

So I didn’t really get a chance to play as much as I would like.

Like most GPS devices you do need to leave it for a while watching the sky before it can work out where it is.

Once it did, there I was correct on the map.

Alas there is no included navigation software on the Nokia N810, you need to purchase additional software at €99 for that, and at that kind of price I would choose a dedicated satnav system.

Where I think the GPS will be useful is when you are lost and not quite sure where your destination is.

Charging the N810 up again and I might have another play tomorrow.

Nokia announce N810

I have always liked the idea of the Nokia N series, there have been times when I have considered buying one, but never really got around to it, as I have other devices which do similar things.

On Friday, Nokia announced the new Nokia N810.

Nokia N810

The N810 is as you might guess is an improvement on the older N800. Key improvements are a full QWERTY keyboard, a faster processor and GPS.

For connectivity you either use a wifi connection or a bluetooth connection to your phone, so mobile browsing is possible, especially if you have a 3G phone. You can also play movie, audio and look at photos.

Is it an iPod touch, no, but the phone connectivity does give it an advantage over Apples’ innovative iPod.

You can read the press release and see some nice photos.
