770-like devices: PepperPad
Friday June 03rd 2005, 10:35 pm Category: Nokia 770 competition

From TeleRead I learned about PepperPad. It has Wi-Fi support, stereo speakers and support for gaming. However, it seems to be more loaded than Nokia 770, with Bluetooth support, mini-keyboard, support for Secure Digital and MMC, and 20 GB disk. The price reflects that however - $799.99 on Amazon.

PepperPad - an Internet tablet with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support

Their software package, according to the site, includes:

  • Web Browser - Directly access the Web with our Mozilla®-based browser. Keep and organize your bookmarks and Web page clippings (for offline viewing).
  • E-mail - POP3, IMAP4 and AOL® Inbox support
  • IM client - A completely integrated AOL® Instant Messenger™ compatible IM client with tabbed session management.
  • Music, video and photo libraries - Collect, organize and watch (or listen to) your favorite MP3s, MPEGs and digital photos.
  • Remote Control - Control your TV & Stereo equipment (only available with the Pepper wireless pad).
  • Journal - A rich text editor lets you resize and color your text, change the font, add hyperlinks and Web clippings, and bulleted and numbered lists. Create a journal you can share with family and friends or simply record your thoughts.
  • Internet Radio - Listen to your favorite streaming radio stations.
  • Games - Improve your hand-eye coordination (oh, who are we kidding? Just have fun) with our entertaining, ad - free games - quick, simple and always a hoot.
