This will be a continuation of a 770 "blog" I maintained at

http://www.palminfocenter.com/forum/...er=asc&start=0

As you will see, it will mainly be links to mentions or items about the 770. I'd appreciate people NOT posting here unless it is with such links. I'm not big on clogging this thread with extraneous discussion. You'll see there was very little of that in the original.

I got to fondle a 770 at Linux Expo and wrote about here:

http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkonther...erun_gues.html

This was linked to by a bunch of sites and also spawned a "reprint" here:

http://mobile88.com/news/read.asp?fi...=Cover%20Story

I'll add to this as time and material warrants.

A 770 mention
http://www.lonnypaul.com/lonny.paul/...ternet-tablet/

Some items I will put here will be about Nokia the company. Did you know this company started out in *lumber*? And merged with a firm that did rubber goods (getcher mind out of that gutter; think galoshes!) and one that manufactured cable (as in wire; not coax)? It's a *very* interesting company, and some of these links will be here simply because I want them to be.

You lot stick to the 770 itself!

Nokia 770 - Wifi on Linux

-- pretty much a generic mention

Nokia 770 does not supply power to the USB cord
http://teddythebear.blogspot.com/200...er-to-usb.html
-- ouch! This is news. And not very good, either!

Phones That Are Compatible With Nokia 770 Internet Tablet
http://www.net-phone-guru.com/phones...et-tablet.html
-- well no, not really. This is one of those frikkin roboblogs that clog the blogosphere. I put it here as an example to be scorned. So scorn it.

Doom on Nokia 770: Lets see how fast it can get
http://aksi.mdamt.net/log/ar/2005-07-30-140/
>>>Finally, I tried the doom deb file received from Kuisma (he received the file from Handful) and see how fast it is in the Nokia 770. The installation is quite tricky since you have to do something first before you can enjoy the game.
-- I am jealous of Mohammad. He not only had a very early 770, but it was *white* too! (I christened it the "albino 770.") He's since been sent a proper black one. For those eejits who have been maligning the 770, saying it's "slow," check out what Mohammad says about bloody **DOOM** on the 770: "the speed is awesome". Nuff said!

A papercast blog entry about the 770

Factor thoughts and dreams
http://yvan.godin.free.fr/wordpress/index.php?p=4
>>>Factor is a new programming language from Slava Pestov combining some forth, lisp and joy concepts in a great portable environment. Very good key features and a lot of good ideas .. I really like it.
>>>My ultimate dream: Factor runing on MAEMO with ARM back end compiler. I plan to buy the NOKIA 770 by the end of this year and I really like to use it for Factor coding pending my long (3H) daily transport in the train to go to work. Factor need few sign for write code so it should be possible even with the tactile keyboard.

Hey, this looks like a good place to be!

Greetings.

I've got a couple of Symbian and PDA type mettings to attend over the next couple of months - If I see anything Tablet-flavoured, I'll try and get some images and maybe even video of it in action.

Nokia chief ends 13-year reign
http://business.timesonline.co.uk/ar...717022,00.html
>>>Jorma Ollila, the man who orchestrated Nokia’s transition from a diversified industrial group to the world’s biggest mobile phone maker, is to step down as chief executive, the company announced today.

Good God! New leaders coming to Nokia. This is a surprise.

And it comes on the same day as the launch of *this* site.

Coincidence?

-- edited to add:

To see Ollila and his successor pictured together, see --
http://today.reuters.com/news/newsAr...-OLLILA-DC.XML

planet.maemo.org has put up some of my posts which kinda feels weird. But I did get some people to come to my site from them. So I am ok with them.

My site is really taking off. I have gone from 1 hit a day to 2 hits a day. I am so happy.

The Inquirer's cheeky take on the change in Nokia leadership

Harley rider gets boot from Nokia
http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=25051
-- what they miss by choosing to be cheeky instead of *thorough* is that Ollila was a *banker*. He came over to Nokia from Citibank Oy! He had been tasked with bringing some Nokia financial business over to Citibank.

So although Kallasvuo was a "bean counter" -- hey, so was Ollila!

-- edited to add:

A large picture of Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo is here --

-- can't be one of his good days...

Two non-Nokia/770 items, but related sorta:

Five addictive open source games
http://entertainment.newsforge.com/a...36216&from=rss
-- these all seem to be Java-based. The 770's initial model lacks Java. Let's hope it will get it.

Nintendo launches massive Wi-Fi advertising campaign for DS
http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=25042
-- if adults see their *kids* doing WiFi, maybe they'll wonder if there is an *adult* device for getting it. Could help 770 awareness and sales.
