It's been quite a while since we've mentioned the Nokia N800 and N810 Internet Tablets. What's new with them? Well, the open nature of Nokia's Linux-based OS2008 has allowed people to continue to add new features and exploit the devices in new ways. We already know that the N810 and N800 provide a great way to use Skype on the go, but what's been improved since they came out and how are people using their Internet Tablets?

• Last month Nokia released the OS2008 Feature Update, which adds better GPS support to the N810, over the air firmware updates, and an improved email client and other software improvements to the N810 and N800.
• People are talking about using the N800 as a laptop substitute and running Java applications on the N810.
• Some enterprising coders managed to install Google's Android operating system on the N810, an interesting proof of concept
• New applications make it possible to run Palm applications on the N810/N800 and geocache more easily
• And of a (only slightly) less technical nature, here's how to crochet a pouch to hold your N810 or N800.

It's great that people keep finding novel ways to use their Internet Tablets.
