Nokia 770 Internet Tablet

My friend Phanidra reddy (Phani) is really a gadget geek. He has so many of them already and he keeps buying them so often.

He introuduced me to this cool device couple of weeks back, the NOKIA 770 Internet Tablet. 



No, this isn't a mobile phone. It is kind of a linux based palm top..

The operating system is customized, called the OS 2006. I know phani did load higher versions meant for the 800 family on to this device. Those are not officially supported on this device..

Interface



OS Version in Control Panel



What is there for you in this device:

• Network aware ( WLAN and Bluetooth) configurable mobile linux device ( need anything more!!)
• A media player. ( I wont call it state of the art)
• Decent enough graphic capability.
• MicroSD support I guess up to 1GB officially.. Phani the great did try a 2GB card and it worked. :-)
• Coolest thing.. It costs around RS 7500 ( was listed in indiatimes shopping sometime back)
• Options are not really limited as the interfaces are still configurable.. :-) I will leave it to your imagination

P.S. : Dr. Manmohan singh to be sworn in as the Prime Minister tomorrow.. Guess who is dreaming of driving the railways.. No prizes for guessing.. No Lalu this time.. It  is going to be Mamata. :-)
