Mike & Mas' Nokia 770 Blog

THey finally got the wiki working:

http://maemo.org/maemowiki/FrontPage

*thud*

What I have feared has now taken place: I must learn to use and read a wiki?!

I think I should go back to Walking the Earth...

LOTS of 770 news -- 99% of it is at http://www.nokia770.com -- I will NOT be duplicating what is already there.

Here's the other stuff --

Inkboard/Inkscape/Pictionary on a 770?
http://gould.cx/ted/blog/Inkscape_Pictionary.html

I was checking out the Nokia site to see if they had posted anything new about the availability of the 770 and as a matter of course I clicked on \"Spotlight\":

http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,75030,00.html

This marketing material looks new to me. Very targeted as to the audience for this and successor tablets. Perhaps I just missed it when it came out . . .

No 770 news yet, but I've just been introduced to TETRA, via Nokia getting a contract and having the first TETRA terminal for sale...

I think this also illustrates how broad Nokia's business is.

You pocket loving person. I am still waiting for the day I don't have to carry lots of heavy books in my backpack at college. I can't get the \"couch browsing\" site to work.

I already have a pda, laptop, and desktop computer. I want a Motion sized device that is around $500 or less. That day still hasn't come.

Oh and thanks for the mentions on your blog.

NEW QUESTION: Mike, are you going to actually buy one of these?

For more info on the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. Look at the Nokia web site. They have pages of info on the operating system, why you should use an Internet Tablet, and why the Nokia 770 might be your tablet of choice for couch browsing

Frenchie: Yes. PalmOS is dead. Long live Maemo.

Lol, Mike is funny.

Yea a little bit after I checked the post and the site worked.

I don't see what's funny. PalmOS *is* dead. All we're left with is Infinite Garnet! PalmSource has stolen the OS and ditched PDAs for illusory smartphones (like they have a chance against Nokia?!!?).

The 770 comes at a perfect time. I expect *tons* of Palm users to switch to it. People like me who will *never* go to PPC, because we've tried it and found it to be a piece of crap.
