(InfoWorld) - Nokia plans to add WiMax connectivity to its N-series Internet tablet next year, the company said Wednesday. WiMax is a wide-area networking technology that offers faster download speeds than 3G (third-generation) mobile networks and has a wider range than Wi-Fi. Adding WiMax support to the Internet tablets will allow users to surf the Web or make calls using Skype away from Wi-Fi hotspots. Nokia's current Internet tablet, the N800, has a wide screen display with a resolution of 800 pixels by 480 pixels. The device comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0. The N800 does include support for cellular networks, although Bluetooth can be used to connect with a cellular phone. Nokia's Internet tablets, which run a version of the Linux operating system, will use Intel's Broad Peak WiMax chip set, the same chip that will be used inside upcomingÂ Centrino laptops that support WiMax. Due during the second half of 2008, Centrino laptops with WiMax support will be available from Asustek Computer, Acer, Lenovo Group, Toshiba, and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., which sells laptops under the Panasonic brand. Nokia said Internet tablets with WiMax will be available in the U.S. and can be used with Sprint Nextel's WiMax network. Information on Nokia's plans to sell WiMax devices outside the U.S. was not immediately available. Â

(InfoWorld) - Nokia Corp. is the latest investor to inject capital in a new venture for sharing pictures and videos on the Web. Through its venture capital unit Nokia Growth Partners, the Finnish manufacturer has invested an undisclosed sum in Kyte.tv, owned by Decentral.tv Corp., in a move to help users of its mobile phones consume, create and share media, the company said Tuesday. Nokia joins several other Kyte.tv investors, including the mobile subsidiary of Swisscom AG, the venture capital arm of German media company Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holzbrinck and investment company Atomico Investment Holdings Ltd., co-founded by Niklas ZennstrÃ¶m. A pioneer of peer-to-peer networking technology, ZennstrÃ¶m helped launch the VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) company Skype Ltd. and, more recently, the Internet TV operator Joost NV. Launched earlier this year in San Francisco, Kyte.tv joins YouTube, MySpace, Slide and several other Web companies that permit users to generate content and share it with others. The site allows users to upload photographs or videos to create interactive TV channels, add music or text, then broadcast them from a mobile phone or PC to any Web site, blog, social network or mobile phone. Viewers can contribute to users' "channels" via live chat or ad hoc opinion polls. The channels can also be embedded on social network sites such as MySpace. While Swisscom aims to offer Kyte.tv as a feature on its mobile phone service and Holzbrinck plans to add the service to its electronic media distribution network, Nokia provided no specific details other than that the company hopes to help the Web startup "grow its audience globally."
