Posted: 28 Aug 2009 05:56 AM PDT

Recently Nokia has been in the limelight when they launched Nokia Booklet 3G mini lappy,today they have come out with one more gadget namely the N900.I had posted about it a few days back in my previous posts.Now what’s this N900 and what features it comes with.This is one awesome gadget you can flaunt on unlike the overhyped N97.Nokia never gave that punch what users expected in the handsets in the later half of 2009.It’s powerpacked with high speed and power.It runs on Linux-based Maemo(aka Maemo5 Debian based) as its OS.It is the first Maemo 5 based Internet tablet and the successor to the Nokia N810 Internet tablet.

This gives awesome fast internet connectivity with 10/2 HSPA and WLAN.You wont need to install any apps for browsing.Why ? Coz,it comes with inbuilt Mozilla browser probably Fennec powered by the Mozilla engine.N900 runs on a Nokia BL-5J battery with 1320 mAh capacity so that you don’t run on battery.It also comes with full Adobe Flash 9.4 support and plays the Xvid videos.Video recording is up to 848 × 480 pixels (WVGA) and up to 25fps.

Download Windows 7 Codec Pack

Windows 7 is very good for playing all sorts of media formats,but sometimes you might be in a situation that you need the extra bit of effort with the need of installing apps like vlc player or KM player.To do solve this problem you can download a codec pack for Windows 7. Win7codecs is an audio and video codec package for Windows 7.I strongly recommended not to download the codecs packs from unverified sources.

Its just a one click installer which autodetects the media content files and installs the necessary files to play all sorts of formats in Windows Media player and Media Center.With this package installed you will be able to use any media player, limited only by the players' capabilities, to play all movies and video clips. Streaming video is supported in several formats in all popular web browsers.
