This has me wondering about the apparent resurgence of Internet-Appliances. The Nokia 770 is coming fast on the heels of the Pepper Pad, an expensive solution, and is leaving me wondering if the 3COM Audrey was just ahead of its time by six or so years. Anyway, Engadet has a quick blurb about the new Nokia 770 as featured on MobileBurn. The unit features what appears to be a very bright screen running at 800×480, Linux as its OS, and Gnome as its UI. The biggest drawback to the 770 is the installed memory, 128MB RAM, 64MB for user, and a 64MB RS-MMC so it really is not meant to be used as a storage device. Price point will be around $350 so it might be tough to justify the unit when a full fledged laptop can be had for another $300, though if later versions come out as a cellphone capable device and carriers pick them up I will certainly be more than interested.
