Nokia «Internet tablet» (com radio via net)

«What's particularly compelling about the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet is that it's not only the first to be billed as an "Internet Tablet," but also its software is built entirely from open source components. Parts of it come as a result of direct community participation via the Nokia 770's community site.

Once booted, users are greeted with a slick interface with direct access to several applets, including a Google search window, contact list and a music player preset to AccuRadio HitKast. It also has a Web shortcut pointing to the "Tableteer," which points to a homepage intended for 770 users with support and update information Included.

Boot time was surprisingly long -- roughly 10 seconds. However, potential buyers need to understand that this device is not a PDA nor is it a laptop. Think of it as somewhere in between.

Users are able to manage and rearrange these applets as desired, although the process for doing so seems a bit disjointed. Until the applets are properly aligned -- something that doesn't come automatically -- you're unable to perform other tasks with the device.»
