Picture of the Nokia N900 aka Rover Internet tablet





Mobile Crunch leaked all of the N900 specs, features and supposed launch date but here’s the first ever picture courtesy of Cellpassion.com. The Nokia N900 or also referred to as the Rover is purported to replace the N810 Internet tablet.

The Rover looks darn similar to the Nokia N97 with a 3.5? touchcreen featuring a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The display of the Rover is significantly higher resolution (800×480 as opposed to 360×640) and, unlike that of the N97, does not tilt up. Additionally, the Rover does not appear to feature the navi-keys found on the slide-out layer of the N97.  The other difference is that Rover runs Maemo rather than Symbian S60 OS.
