Monsoon Multimedia announced support for the upcoming Nokia N810 Internet Tablet WiMAX Edition with its HAVA player, allowing customers to view and control their home TV from anywhere in the world over WiMAX or Wi-Fi.
Users can watch their TV programs live on the tablet over a Wi-Fi or WiMAX connection. The TV source (whether cable or satellite, receiver or DVR, standard or high definition) is connected to the HAVA device installed in your home. Familiar set-top box controls -- Pause, Play, Rewind, Skip, Record, Guide, Menu, Navigation - are available from the on-screen remote. Touch-screen (stylus) inputs and key press inputs are supported depending on user preference.
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. Users can even view their home TV simultaneously on multiple PCs within the home network and on a Nokia Internet Tablet at home or anywhere in the world.
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 (called time-shifting like a TiVo box) on their tablets from local memory.
Nokia announced the WiMAX-enabled version of the N810 tablet at CTIA Wireless 2008 last week. The tablet is expected to debut on the Sprint XOHM network later this year. The HAVA Player for the Nokia Internet Tablet will be available by June as a free direct download.
