Software Update for my Nokia N800

(Image Source: CNET.com)

I finally get to test out the new OS2008 software update on my Nokia N800. OS2008 was developed for the soon to be released sliding Nokia N810 but Nokia announced the software would also run on the older N800s.

Chris Soghoian from CNET.com posted a Nokia N800 HowTo to allow us anxious N800 users to get a glimpse of the new operating system.

The new operating system is rumored to increase internal processing speeds from 340MHz to 400 MHz. YouTube is finally supposed to work correctly. Skype will finally have video chat support (not yet released at this time).

I intend to use my Nokia N800, with the newer OS2008 operating system, as a mobile web server running Apache (My contributions to Web 2.0/3.0 development in Vietnam). My N800 has a storage capacity of 4 Gigs but I can easily increase it to 16 Gigs.
