If you own one of the gorgeous N800 or N810 internet tablet well, it is about to reflash! As a matter of fact the guys at Maemo have just released the new update for the little  Nokia device’s operating system namely OS 2008 (Maemo 4.1). This second update (read more about the first update here) is rich of features, but before speaking about them I want to point out  the fact that future releases will be available over-the-air. This means that you won’t have to reflash the tablet anymore and lose all of your data! That’s a big piece of news indeed!  “Further OS updates will be made available over-the-air, without needing to reflash. Now users will get automatic notifications in the home screen about the availability of OS updates or single applications, including those installed from third parties. This works only over WLAN connections. It is still possible to check for updates manually from the Application manager.”  The most important additions to the operating system this update provides are an open source email application based on Modest and the tinymail framework, simplified account setup and the introduction of Chinese character rendering support in email, browser and RSS feeds.

This is an old news but I thought it could interest somebody. A couple of weeks ago the first update for Maemo OS2008 was released. Let’s read some of the Maemo team words:

” You can now use finger sized arrows in PDF reader’s full screen mode to change between pages. Page changing is as easy as switching through images in image viewer. In chat application’s side, layouts have got some updates and new features were added like support for avatars & instant messaging through SIP. Smiley selector in chat is also bigger to be more easily used by fingers. Selecting right contact from contacts list is now faster by using live filtering where only contacts matching the inputted characters will be displayed. “
