Nokia Unveils Internet Tablet

In what I think is a pretty neat move, Nokia has released the N770 Internet Tablet designed to enable the user to get online via Wi-Fi or a bluetooth connection (think cell phone in your pocket). CNET has a nice review up and I think after just reading about the device in a few different places that I have to agree with their feelings towards the device. It's interesting to see this kind of offering by Nokia, I don't think of them as a PDA manufacturer typically. It's not a device I would buy however with it's current feature set (read the review). The N770 seems too limited to me in file formats and software availability, but it may be great for a casual user that is looking to have a PDA with web access via Wi-Fi instead of relying on their cell phone providers high data charges and slow speeds. I'm pleased to see that the device runs in landscape mode. After having my new PDA (Dell Axim x50v) for only a few weeks now I can say that landscape mode makes a world of difference in my productivity because I can read everything so much faster and hold the device so much easier. Nokia, keep up the good work, innovation and competetion are good.
