Nokia Internet Tablet
LAS VEGAS, /PRNewswire/ -- CTIA -- Monsoon Multimedia, an
innovative digital video solutions provider, announced HAVA support
for the Nokia N800 and N810 Internet Tablets (updated with the latest
operating system), and the upcoming Nokia N810 Internet Tablet WiMAX
Edition, allowing customers to view and control their home TV from anywhere
in the world over WiMAX or WiFi. The HAVA Player for the Nokia Internet
Tablet features an easy-to-use touch interface, as well as support for
hardware keys, allowing users to effortlessly control their home TV on the
tablet using their thumbs or stylus.
"Beside the pool or across the globe, our innovative technology gives
customers more options and flexibility to watch their home TV anytime they
choose and from anywhere they happen to be," said Vadim Dagman, CTO and
Co-Founder of Monsoon Multimedia. "Our support for Nokia's line of Internet
Tablets is a great addition for HAVA customers who can now view local news
or catch the latest basketball game, in the palm of their hands, wherever
WiMAX or WiFi is available."
Watch TV Live
With Monsoon's new HAVA Player for the Nokia Internet Tablet, users can
watch their TV programs live on the tablet over a WiFi or WiMAX connection.
They can control the TV source (whether cable or satellite, receiver or
DVR, standard or high definition) connected to the HAVA device they have
installed in their home. The friendly onscreen remote supports full control
of the set-top box from the tablet: Pause, Play, Rewind, Skip, Record,
Guide, Menu, Navigation, etc.
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. The HAVA's unique capabilities enable
users to view their home TV simultaneously on multiple PCs on the home
network and on a Nokia Internet Tablet at home or anywhere in the world.
Watch TV Offline
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 on their tablets
from local memory.
"The Nokia Internet Tablets offer such great video and sound quality
that they are a perfect screen for our HAVA platform," said Paul Friedman,
President of Monsoon Multimedia's US Operations and head of the company's
mobile business. "Their clever design and long battery life will delight
users who will discover a whole new way to enjoy their TV. We are very
pleased to be working with Nokia on this exciting platform and commend them
on the power of their development environment. We were able to bring our
product from initial concept to what we are showing at CTIA in record
time."
Pricing and Availability
The Monsoon HAVA Player for the Nokia Internet Tablet will be available
in Q2 2008 as a free direct download. The HAVA product line is available
