Nokia Internet Tablet

Nokia Internet Tablet is a computer science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Nokia Internet Tablet rather than just read about it. In short: The Nokia Internet Tablet is a discontinued line of Nokia mobile Internet appliances products. These tablets fall in the range between a personal digital assistant (PDA) and an Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC), and slightly below Intel's Mobile Internet device (MID).

Key takeaways

Nokia Internet Tablet belongs to computer science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Nokia Internet Tablet to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Nokia Internet Tablet from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Nokia Internet Tablet is a discontinued line of Nokia mobile Internet appliances products. These tablets fall in the range between a personal digital assistant (PDA) and an Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC), and slightly below Intel's Mobile Internet device (MID).

Early trials and predecessors Nokia had plans for the Internet Tablet series since before 2000. An early model was test manufactured in 2001, the Nokia M510, which was running on EPOC and featuring an Opera browser, speakers and a 10-inch 800x600 screen, but it was not released because of fears that the market was not ready for it. The M510 was first leaked to the public in 2014. Prior to the introduction of Nokia's Internet tablets, Nokia unveiled two "media devices" in 2003-04 which were mobile phones but had a form factor similar to the Internet tablets that followed them. The first of this type of device was the Nokia 7700 which was intended for mass production but ended up being canned in favor of the Nokia 7710 which had a slightly more traditional form-factor and better specs.

Maemo

Nokia Internet Tablets run the Debian Linux-based Maemo, which draws much of its GUI, frameworks, and libraries from the GNOME project. It uses the embedded-targeted Matchbox as its window manager and uses Hildon, a lightweight GTK-based toolkit designed for handheld devices, as its GUI and application framework.

Alternative distributions Maemo can be replaced entirely by a number of other Linux distributions.

NITdroid is a port of Google's Android. Ubuntu has been ported. Mer is a new distribution created by combining Ubuntu with the open source packages from Maemo. Gentoo an unofficial port of Gentoo Linux is available.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Nokia Internet Tablet

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Nokia Internet Tablet claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Nokia Internet Tablet before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Nokia Internet Tablet ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Nokia Internet Tablet

In research: Nokia Internet Tablet appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Nokia Internet Tablet in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Nokia Internet Tablet is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Information appliances, Mobile computer stubs, Nokia Internet tablets, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Nokia Internet Tablet outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
