Nokia Working On Next-Gen 770 Tablets

Posted by Mike Elgan, Feb 14, 2006 12:47 PM

Nokia staff at the 3GSM show have revealed that Nokia is working on follow-on models to the Linux-based Nokia 770, which Personal Tech Pipeline reviewed recently. The 770 is a table form-factor device with an 800x480 screen optimized for Web surfing.

They said similar devices would ship later this year, and hinted that at least one might include a full, QWERTY keyboard.

Nokia also said that the tablet will be strong on VoIP, which will be provided by Google (probably Google Talk or a variant thereof).

In other Nokia 770 news, a Linux Web site called LinuxDevices.com has launched a discussion forum dedicated to the device.
