Nokia N810 Internet Tablet WiMAX Edition to get TV Place-Shifting Support
Monsoon Multimedia's HAVA Player enables remote TV and video content viewing over WiMAX.
Monsoon Multimedia announced support for the
upcoming Nokia N810 Internet Tablet WiMAX Edition with its HAVA player, allowing
customers to view and control their home TV from anywhere in the world over
WiMAX or Wi-Fi.
Users can watch their TV programs live on the tablet over a Wi-Fi or WiMAX
connection. The TV source (whether cable or satellite, receiver or DVR, standard
or high definition) is connected to the HAVA device installed in your home.
Familiar set-top box controls -- Pause, Play, Rewind, Skip, Record, Guide, Menu,
Navigation - are available from the on-screen remote. Touch-screen (stylus)
inputs and key press inputs are supported depending on user preference.
The Nokia Internet Tablet version of the HAVA Player is a tablet-optimized
version of the player software that Monsoon also provides for PCs and other
mobile devices. Users can even view their home TV simultaneously on multiple PCs
within the home network and on a Nokia Internet Tablet at home or anywhere in
the world.
An upcoming version of the HAVA PC Player application will also enable the Nokia
Internet Tablet to function as a "PVR-on-the-go", allowing users to record their
favorite TV shows and later watch them (called time-shifting like a TiVo box) on
their tablets from local memory.
Nokia announced the WiMAX-enabled version of the N810 tablet at CTIA Wireless
2008 last week. The tablet is expected to debut on the Sprint XOHM network later
this year. The HAVA Player for the Nokia Internet Tablet will be available by
June as a free direct download.
