Nokia's 770 Internet Tablet Redefines PDA's

The Nokia 770 is looking pretty interesting at this point in the game. The initial version will include a slew of applications including an Internet radio player, RSS reader, e-mail client, video player, a stripped-down drawing application and an image viewer, among other applications. It supports many media file formats, including MP3, Real Audio, JPEG, GIF, MPEG4, Real Video and many others.

A redefinition of the PDA, this Linux device focuses solely on the Internet. Despite its name, the 770 Internet Tablet is closer in size to a PDA than a Tablet PC. It measures 141 millimeters (5.5 inches) by 79 millimeters (3.1 inches) and is about 19 millimeters (.75 inches) thick. It weighs about 230 grams, or about 7.4 ounces. It comes with 64MB of DDR RAM and 128MB of Flash memory.

In a twist for Nokia, which is the world's largest manufacturer of cell phones, the 770 connects to the Internet direction only via Wi-Fi; it can't directly connect over cellular data networks. Customers with a phone equipped with Bluetooth 1.2, however, can connect the 770 to their cell phone via Bluetooth to reach the Internet.
