The 770: Nokia’s First Linux-Driven Product

Windows-haters rejoice! From Nokia comes the 770, a Linux-driven, Bluetooth-enabled internet tablet that can connect to the Net via a WLAN of the 802.11b or g variety. The 770 is quite larger than the largest smartphone in the market right now, with a 4.3-inch, 800 x 480 pixel touch-screen. Since it’s totally Linux-driven, all the applications it’s packed with are independent of the Windows stranglehold on PC technology. Applications include IM and VoIP capabilities.

The Nokia 770 also doubles as a music player. It has an onboard filing system that lets you sift through your song collection, as well as some buttons on its side that lets you do the same. It also has internet radio, and supports nearly all audio and video formats. Storage capacity is at 1GB, with an extended virtual memory card.

The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet also comes with peripherals galore, including headphones and two stylus pens. Buyers will have to remember to keep the tablet’s mobile charger close at all times, though, since the battery has a browsing life of just three hours.
