If you are an owner of Nokia N800 Interneet Tablet then there is good news for you.
Nokia has released the first software update for its N800 Internet tablets. Officially dubbed Internet Tablet OS 2007 Edition version 3.2007.10-7, it corresponds to the maemo 3.1 platform. The update fixes several performance and stability problems in the 3.0 release that shipped with the tablet at launch, and offers a few improved features.
The most highly publicized improvement in this firmware is the speedup to video and Flash performance. The N800 received poor marks for its Flash video frame rate upon its release, particularly on YouTube video content. The new firmware achieves better frame rates than its predecessor, but it remains noticeably jittery, and can get out of sync with audio in only a few
Maemo 3.1 also brings stability improvements to the Opera Web browser. With the original firmware Opera would crash almost hourly; since the update I have not experienced any crashes. Bluetooth pairing is noticeably faster as well.
The 3.1 update notably does not include kernel patches to enable support for Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) memory cards, an oft-requested feature. However, it is possible to use the command-line flasher utility to upload just a new kernel image (something the Windows GUI upgrader evidently cannot do). Users who need SDHC support can monitor the mailing lists for the latest news. Until Nokia releases its own patched kernel, Philip Langdale’s patched kernels are the next best thing.
