(Credit: Nokia)I've never been a big fan of the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, partly because I just didn't see the point and partly because it seemed like a half-baked product. However, Nokia has released a revamped version of the InterneTablet t at CES 2007, the Nokia N800, and I'm digging it.
Sporting a sleeker and more attractive design, the N800 includes some nice enhancements, such as a built-in Web cam (very cool), a faster processor, a full-screen QWERTY keyboard, and two memory slots. In addition, the device retains many of the features that you've come to love on the 770, including integrated Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi, a beautiful, high-resolution screen, an RSS feed reader, and multimedia capabilities. Instant messaging and VoIP calls are also supported, and Nokia is working with Skype to develop a new mobile Skype experience, specifically for the N800.

A spanking new N800 should be waiting for me when I return to San Francisco later this week, so stay tuned for a full review, or if you just can't wait to get your hands on one, the Nokia N800 is available now for $399.99.
