Nokia N810

OK, everyone get flashing.

Diablo, Nokia's latest release in the Tablet OS series, has officially been released. Go get it now.

I haven't had much time to play around with Diablo yet but I'll be posting my thoughts shortly.

If you want to know what's new in this release there is a great (and long) thread over on Internet Tablet Talk discussing the features.

Happy flashing.

EDIT: A comprehensive look at what packages have changed can be found here.

Grab it while you can. In the US and UK nokia stores you can get 15% off the listed price by entering the code found on Adam Curry's website.

Ferenc Szekely has just posted an explanation of what went wrong with the firmware and repository downloads over the holiday period on the Maemo developer list.

"The infrastructure is built so that the content from repository.maemo.org is served thru a huge caching network. We were supposed to use the same network for the firmware downloads as well, but due to a misconfiguration and _my negligence_ all the requests ended up at our origin server (stage.maemo.org).

Soon after the N810 launch the traffic dramatically increased and the server could not handle it anymore. It was actually never meant to handle such load."

So for all those that don't know yet, WeBot is a media streaming application in the same vein as Orb from Orb networks. It allows you share your media over the internet and stream it to any web capable device. At the moment you can only stream photos and music but it looks like video capabilities are on their way.

So what makes WeBot special? Well I'm glad you ask. WeBot has gone out of its way to accommodate the Nokia Internet Tablets in particular, creating an interface especially for them.
