The author of ParticleStorm seems to be excited about Nokia 770 coming out:
Anyone want to buy me one so I can start hacking on it? With such an open platform, the possibilities for this device are limitless.
Over at PortaGame the author acknowledges that Nokia’s Maemo strategy might be paying off:
Other companies have tried similar tablet things, but failed miserably. I see the Nokia having a very fair shot in this small, but expanding, market. First off, it’s open source! The 770 runs Maemo code, an open source toolkit based on Linux, Gnome and GTK+. This makes it fairly easy for developers to cook up applications. I foresee many ports of favorite games and emulators headed our way.
Over at Lepow.com the author is ready to buy one already:
I did however find the perfect device Nokia 770, its an open sources PVP/web device but it won’t be coming out till the Fall (YUCK!)
I ran across an Ahead of the Curve column that Tom Yager wrote in Infoworld a couple issues back — http://www.infoworld.com/article/05/05/25/22OPcurve_1.html online — called “Mobile Hip Replacement” and subtitled: “Nokia and palmOne tout wireless pocket computers they think professionals have been waiting for”.
I don’t see anyway to notify you, except via a comment.
The Nokia and palmOne units get only a little space; mostly he describes how demanding he is of this small tool. He concludes by saying:
“Nokia and PalmOne each get one shot at convincing me that roam-at-home has arrived, and that it�s the company that did it right. But be on notice: I don�t have time for playthings or for PDAs that want to be computers when they grow up. A mobile device doesn�t spin my socks just because it runs Linux. The first one of you that gets me to put down my PowerBook for two hours of my in-office working day, wins.”
