>>>The Nokia 770 is billed as an "Internet Tablet" - and in fact, it isn't a phone at all. However, it can be seen as a logical evolution to widescreen devices such as the Nokia 7710 Smartphone.

-- how in the world did I miss this?! The *slides* from the Linux World Expo 770 intro! But how can that be? There's a slide showing AbiWord and Plucker under Maemo! Wow! This is a 23-slide exegesis on the creation of the 770 and also includes all the names of the major open source components they used, plus the reason they chose Opera as the browser. I expect Reggie will plop this on the front page due to its importance!

-- Memo to Frank: We don't *keep* tech that long. Things fall and break. We get tired of them. They lack the newest features. They stop being hep. Wake up. Or it's off to Royal Dutch Shell for you!
