Nokia’s N900 is, like I said before, more of a mobile computing device or an MID (Mobile Internet Device). It could be misconstrued as a miniature tablet PC as even the ones on their way will comply with most ‘mobile phone’ standards like taking and ma...

Nokia doesn't want you to call the N900 a smart phone. According to the company, the N900 ($569 unlocked) is a "mobile computer." Running Maemo 5 Linux, the N900—Nokia's follow-up to the Maemo 4.1-driven N810 Internet Tablet—delivers the Web as you'd e...
