As most of you probably know by now Nokia announced today the Nokia 770
Web Tablet. This is of course especially relevant for everyone here as
it uses stuff like GTK+, GStreamer, d-bus, gnome-vfs and gconf.
Companies like Fluendo, OpenedHand and Imendio have been involved in
various parts of the development of this device.
Nokia will as you know be presenting this device at GUADEC.
Thanks for the info - this is a really neat device. It would be great
if it had the CPU power and RAM to run a full-fledged browser like
Mozilla/Firefox, but it's probably not there yet.
Even better if it could run Xine/Mplayer and stream DivX video at
800x480 from an NFS server over WiFi! (Not yet reached that level yet,
but this can be done today with just about any Centrino tablet).
Perhaps a higher-powered 2nd-generation version, preferably at
the $200 level, will be the killer handheld device.
