Well, I think it's a combination of things. First is the price 799 pounds, which at $1375 is over $1000 more than the Nokia 770.

Second, it's running Linux, but did the company take the approach Nokia did to speed the flow of applications to its platform by building off an established distro and GUI?

Third, the weight is 1.4 kg, which is about 50 ounces, compared to the 770's 8.1 ounces.

Fourth, the size is way bigger than the 770 and the pixel density nowhere close to 225 ppi.

I don't think the two are even remotely comparable. It's not to say the ThinTune is a bust, but it's not going to attract anyone who's looking at a Nokia 770 because of these disparities.
