A First Look at the Nokia 770

摘要

In November 2005, the long-awaited Nokia 770 Internet Tablet hit the stores, first in Europe and then in the US, where it promptly sold out at a retail price of $350 US. When we posted a mini-review of a pre-release unit on the Linux Journal Web site (see the on-line Resources), we quickly got dozens of comments, some of which were very helpful in writing this first-look review. The 770 is a radical departure for Nokia, mostly because it isn't a phone. Nor is it based on Symbian, the mobile device OS co-created by Nokia and running in zillions of Nokia devices. Instead, the 770 is a palm-sized tablet PC running on Linux.
