With the recent announcements of the N91 and the 770, Nokia have shown that they’re not kidding around. They’re not in this to sell phones, they’re in this to sell mobile digital devices. It’s tempting to say “mini-PCs”, but we’re probably not quite there yet.

This might be what I’ve been looking for - Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. I have no need for a laptop or PDA most of the time. But it sure would be nice to have some way to access e-mail on the road without relying on hotel PCs (although finding a WiFi hotspot could get tricky).
Wifi is pretty pervasive nowadays - I can find three open networks while sat at my desk (none of them ours!) When I was in Toronto a while ago, someone close to the hotel had a totally open network and a 1Mb/s symetric cable modem link to the internet. Many thanks, whoever you are!
And if there is no wifi, isn’t this when you fall back onto the bluetooth link to your mobile ‘phone so you can then use GPRS over GSM?
