Nokia 770

Has anyone seen detailed specs on this? I think it was just announced.

It's a $350 Linux based tablet PC with 802.11B and Bluetooth. It looks like it might be an affordable touchscreen that could be useful in HA.

With it talking to a Global Caché GC-100, I could control all of my X-10 and AV gear.

The $350 figure was in a couple of the articles I saw. I don't know how firm it may be.

Where did $350 come from? Here is a snippet from yesterday's press release: "Measuring a modest 141 x 79 x 19 mm and at a weight of 230 g, Nokia claims a browsing time of up to 3 hours and standby time of up to 7 days from the 1500 mAh rechargeable battery of the 770. The device comes in black and matte silver and is planned to start shipping in the third quarter of 2005 in selected countries in the Americas and Europe, however Nokia did not provide any details concerned its expected pricing. "

So, no details about pricing yet as far as I can tell.

At $350 would certainly be interesting to look at it.

Of some 10-12 stories I saw on the subject, about half said $349 or $350 while a few, including the one you cited, said there was no price information. Seeing that low price was the only thing that piqued my interest as most similar devices have been ridiculously over priced.

Google on "Nokia 770 Internet Tablet" and then follow the "News Results for Nokia 770 Internet Tablet" link and read all the stories. I've posted the URL below.

Of course, it won't be released until late this year and some features (e.g. VoIP) will not come until next year.

Neil,

Thanks for the Nokia link. I searched their site the day of the announcement without finding anything. I guess I was too early.
