    What will this be compared to nokia 770? http://nokia770.com/
    Will it the Successor, or will it be smaller, less computer alike?
    Will it be running Linux?

  3. Re:Lets hope they open source it by NetRAVEN5000 · · Score: 2, Informative · on Google to Buy Opera?
    "It's not what's cheaper, it's what can they get on more hardware. Opera not only supports the usual OS's (Windows, OSx, Solaris, Linux, and on and on) they are also a big player in the mobile market. This would get google a jump into the mobile market that MS and Yahoo can't touch at the moment, not to mention massive support across current PC platforms."

    Right now the number of people who browse the Web from a PC greatly outweighs the number of people who do so from a phone/PDA. On PCs, Firefox has more users than Opera, and Firefox has a lot more "word-of-mouth" - this time last year almost no one at my school had even heard of Firefox, this year Firefox is on every computer on the school; how many non-geeks have heard of Opera? Right now among non-geeks Firefox is the hero to come along and smite the big blue "E" that has caused them so much trouble, and Google supporting Firefox gets them extra "cool-points" from both geeks who know about all of IE's problems and non-geeks who just know that Firefox is more secure and faster.

    Also, MS can and has touched the mobile market with Windows CE or whatever their handheld version is called. I don't own one of these devices, but I'm sure they have IE.

    And much of the handheld market seems to be leaning toward Linux - not only do we have cellphones and PDAs running Linux, but we also have things like the Nokia 770 - as well as multitudes of hackers hacking network-enabled things like the PSP and the Xbox. Anything that can run Linux can run Firefox, and since Firefox is fairly common on PCs (at least compared to Opera) people will be more familiar with it and more likely to be comfortable with using it on both their Win/Linux/Mac PC and their PDA or hacked Xbox or whatever.

    I've had mine for a little more than a week now (It was released earier i selected countries in Europe). I'm very happy with it. It means I can travel without my Thinkpad and not having to worry about reaching "my" servers in a secure fashion when I need to.

    You can find quite a few reviews and related stuff here: http://nokia770.com/

    Check Internet Tablet Talk or the Nokia 770 Blog. The device has been out in Europe for a few weeks, and in the hands of developers for several months. There are reviews out there.

    On top of that, reading in front of a monitor at this point in time is not enjoyable.
    New devices as Nokia 770 can make read more enjoyable with good 800x600 screens. ePaper may be the future, but not the present.

    "no cost of shipping, no middleman warehouse distribution, no physical cost to print/bind, no brick and mortar store paying electricity, rent, stocking risky books at a premium, they'll be dirt cheap!" I was wrong.
    You can't say that on slashdot!
    You have a lot of free (as in beer, as in speech) eBooks: Project Gutenberg, Wiki Books, or you can search it on Creative Commons. And there are a lot of books in HTML, PDF (without encription), txt format...

    Logitech announces their "PC mouse", complete with monitor and networking.
    That's just what I thinked when I readed about this mouse. That new features are already done by a normal PC so why put it on a mouse?
    If you want a gizmo that tells you when a email arrives there are more useful thinks like the Nokia 770 or a PSP.
