Nokia N770 Linux based Internet Tablet for cheap
Posted on June 29th, 2007 by bile Categories and Tags: Uncategorized, consumer device, FOSS, hardware, internet, Internet Tablet, large online retailers, Linux, metal cover, Technology, Web tabletsAt least two large online retailers are selling Nokia’s 770 Internet Tablet for $140. Originally priced at $400, the 770 was Nokia’s first Linux-based consumer device — and arguably the first product in an emergent new generation of pocketable WiFi-connected Web tablets.
My college roommate has one of these 770s and loves it (except that the community firmware he installed didn’t support suppend). And for him the metal cover is a requirement as he lugs it around in his pocket all the time. I’ve considered picking the N800 up but I’m holding out for something with a physical keyboard that’s more subnotebook like. Hopefully the Palm Foleo will fill that desire.
