Nokia 770 idea

[Jason Prini .com] I was thinking that the lack of PIM software for the Nokia 770 makes is a non-palm {although with wifi/BT internet you could ust use web services}. But since the device is Linux, one should be able to run a version of apache server, and run your own web apps right off a RS-MMC card. That 800x600 display is what makes it so great. If you’ve tried to view the web on a cell phone or even a palm it’s just not the same as your desktop experience.

Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.

Shortly after buying the Zodiac, Nokia made headlines with their Nokia 770 Linux device and I figured I'd try the same. So I loaded up the Mail and Web clients that come with the Zodiac (the Web app is on the CD, by the way, I bought some other crappy browser before I realized this) and I found a chat app as well. I sprung for a SDIO WiFi card from Palm at Fry's in a gadget-buying frenzy before I realized you can just as easily share out your Internet connection on your computer via Bluetooth and use it that way (it works great).

Before I get ahead of myself, Nokia 770 is like a mini-tablet PC, which has no cellular connectivity, runs on a TI processor, and uses Linux OS. It has a nice screen that can display 800 X 480 web pages on an Opera browser, can do email via a digital pen, instant messaging, and even perhaps streaming audio and video. It connects to the Internet using a WiFi connection and also has bluetooth connectivity.
