Nokia 770 press
release
The Nokia 770 Internet
Tablet enables easy
broadband
access to the Internet
over Wi-Fi
New York - Today Nokia
introduced its first
device in the new
Internet Tablet
category, the Nokia 770
Internet Tablet, at the
LinuxWorld Summit in New
York. The Nokia 770
Internet Tablet is a
dedicated device
optimized for convenient
Internet browsing and
email communications in
a sleek pocketsize
format. The Nokia 770
Internet Tablet features
an impressive
high-resolution
(800x480) widescreen
display with zoom and
on-screen keyboard,
ideal for viewing online
content over Wi-Fi.
Aside from Wi-Fi, the
device can also connect
to the Internet
utilizing Bluetooth
wireless technology via
a compatible mobile
phone.
"We are very excited to
introduce our first
Nokia Internet Tablet
device to the market.
With the Nokia 770
Internet Tablet
consumers can access
broadband Internet
services away from their
desktop, for example in
the backyard or at a
cafe within a Wi-Fi
hotspot", says Janne
Jormalainen, Vice
President of Convergence
Products, Multimedia,
Nokia.
The device runs on Linux
based Nokia Internet
Tablet 2005 software
edition which includes
widely deployed desktop
Linux and Open Source
technologies. The maemo
development platform (www.maemo.org)
will provide Open Source
developers and
innovation houses with
the tools and
opportunities to
collaborate with Nokia
on future devices and OS
releases in the Internet
Tablet category.
"Linux is a logical
choice for the Nokia 770
Internet Tablet as Linux
and the Open Source
development platform
provide us with fast and
efficient solutions to
build products for this
new, Nokia product
category. This is the
first step in creating
an Open Source product
for broadband and
Internet services. We
will be launching
regularly updates of the
software. The next
software release planned
for the first half of
next year will support
more presence based
functionalities such as
VoIP and Instant
Messaging", continues
Janne Jormalainen.
Additional highlighted
applications of the
Nokia 770 Internet
Tablet with the 2005
software include an
Internet Radio, RSS News
reader, Image viewer and
Media players for
selected types of media.
The Nokia 770 Internet
Tablet is planned to
start shipping in the
third quarter of 2005 in
selected countries in
the Americas and Europe. |
