Nokia 870 Tablet Revealed

Images of Nokia's 870 internet tablet unveiled

Engadget has the scoop on Nokia’s upcoming successor to the previously released Nokia 770 internet tablet—the Nokia 870. The upcoming Nokia 870 internet tablet features a couple new enhancements over the existing 770.

New to the 870 internet tablet is an integrated webcam for video conferencing. Storage space has been upgraded to 180MB as well, though the operating system remains unchanged from the 770. Once again, the screen on the Nokia tablet is touch sensitive but the user can use the interface buttons for menus.

Additionally the Nokia 870 features more memory expansion options. An SD slot is available beneath the battery cover in addition to the previously available RS-MMC slot. Gone from the Nokia 870 is the dock which plagued, and annoyed, Nokia 770 users. Nevertheless, the Nokia 870 has an integrated desk stand and intends to bundle a leather case in the box. Also bundled with the Nokia 870 is a headset for VoIP services.

There is no word yet on pricing or availability, though we suspect our friends at Engadget will have more information any day now.
