Nokia has a history of rolling out Internet tablets. There was Nokia 770, Nokia N800, N810, and now the company's latest offering Nokia N900.
Nokia N900 is positioned not exclusively as an Internet tablet. The manufacturer claim it is a mobile computer - one that is as sleek as, and behaves like a mobile phone but which has the power and capabilities of a desktop PC.
