Nokia 770

The Gnome people were all very excited yesterday about the announcement of the Nokia 770. Called an “internet tablet”, it’s a compact, portable device for accessing the internet over wireless. It looks very nice.

The exciting thing for the Gnome people is that all the software for it is based on Linux and Gnome. And there’s an Open Source development platform for it called Maemo.

Available in the third quarter apparently. I can’t wait.

  1. There was an article in the FT about it last Thursday, saying that the investment community didn’t reckon that the device would sell because it falls into a gap between product categories and there’s no decent market for it. Of course, they can try and create a market, but it will be interesting to see how this device fares.http://news.ft.com/cms/s/1a034770-cd82-11d9-aa26-00000e2511c8.htmlIf this link doesn’t work, search for Nokia 770 on FT.com.
