Although I am not positive yet, I would assume it will be the same OS. Think of it as having one PC with one OS, and then just buying a new PC with the same OS...
This is exactly what I thought. Somehow reminds me of leftovers from the 50s and 60s I occasionally find in my parents' attic.
And I do hope it will not be bigger than the 770, though it looks somewhat clumsier on the picture. Also, the rounded corners indicate there's no more slide-on cover, which would mean no screen protection, no power saving funktions ...
Anyway, lets wait for the technical specs.
BTW: The "thing" at the bottom left corner could as well be the progress bar we see when booting... it could simply be thicker on this device.
Actually. If you look at the edges, there's a clear plastic lip. I believe that's a clear plastic cover which most likely snaps off and goes under the unit (so you can still see the screen when protected unlike the current 770). The mystery square on the screen appears to be a sticker stuck to this clear plastic cover. The little divots/speaker holes all over it are a BAD idea. They'll fill with grime really quickly (internet users have sweaty hands).
If that's a web cam and it's integrated, I don't like it. It looks like a nubby antenna for cellular access to me. It's also in the way when you hold the tablet whatever it is.
I'm not much of a fan. If anything's gonna stick out (except for the power/USB cables), have it stick out of the top.
Damnit. That meant the grime-gathering more-integrated-things-to-stick-out-and-break thing is real.
(Don't get me wrong. I'm so happy with the 770 I'm definately going to buy the next generation... providing it doesn't run CE and have a billion useless peripherals sticking out)
*EDIT: Good luck, Engadget has a hold of this story.
TBH, I'm more interested in improvements to the 770's software: stability, robustness, features, UI improvements for the small, high-resolution screen etc.
Although if such a successor were released, we don't know what would happen to 770 updates.
