Nokia 770


The Nokia 770 seems a direct rip off from the 7710 but actually its more different then similar. Nokia 770 runs on a development platform called Maemo (its a linux based device). The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet's software is upgradeable and currently runs on the Linux-based Internet Tablet 2005 software edition.

The Nokia 770 is mainly meant for browsing the internet and doing online work such as emailing etc. Indeed the device has a complete name of "Nokia 770 Internet Tablet". The screen is positively largish huge at 800 x 480 pixels. It can also display 65,000 colors which I think is more than enough for standard work on the net. Since the screen is a touch screen, the usre will work with an onscreen keyboard, while the display gives him zoom capability as well. Getting on the internet is extremely easy if you happen to be in a Wi-Fi hotspot. Wi-Fi hotspots are no longer difficult to find and are extremely well spread out in all the major metropolitan cities of not just the US but throughout the globe. In case you still manage to land in a place without the same, then the 770 can be used in conjunction with another device which has GPRS or 3G capbility. These two can be connected via Bluetooth. Since most cell phones will be compatible and have bluetooth technology to boot, we dont think getting on the internet is going to be much of a problem.
