Ordered a Nokia 770 tablet
R. Emory Lundberg | Jul 25 2006
Watch this space I guess for a review once it comes. I'm really interested in this device because one of the reasons I refuse to use Tracks or Backpack as the centerpiece of my GTD is because it isn't usable on a mobile browser. As the 770 has Opera and should be able to handle Ajaxy-fancy-pants bits, that problem may go away. I just refuse to carry a laptop everywhere to solve this problem. Also, it will be able to use my mobile phone's internet connection to use the big browser/IM client/email so that I am not constantly fondling my N90 like some sort of perv. The 770 isn't a PDA. Its a tiny X11/Linux device with WiFi and Bluetooth. I'm eager to see if it will fill any gaps for me. 6 Comments

For Individuals or Enterprises?Submitted by ozhuner on July 26, 2006 - 5:49pm.
The 770 looks pretty cool. Pretty unique device, maybe even a new category. I'm kinda surprised that you want to use it as a "personal" device - I'm imagining here that you'll toss it in your man-bag and pull it out at the nearest Starbucks while you wait for the barista to explain to the tourists in line infront of you that they dont have 'small.' But, really where else are you going to use it? On the couch? In bed? And, other than the browser are you going to use any other app? Should be interesting... looking forward to your report. // BTW How much do you pay for data on your phone $/mb ? I can see the 770 tablet being deployed within a corporate campus or hospitals and other enterprises. Add voip and you have a pretty cheap laptop replacement. Certainly cheaper than those weighty (stone)TabletPC things out there. » POSTED IN:
