Adam Wolf shares his experience of using Nokia 770 as an e-book reader.
Washington Post today has an article completely dedicated to Nokia 770:
But while this $360 gadget might fit in great on “Star Trek,” in the real world it competes with a galaxy of other handheld devices - most of which do more than the Nokia 770, and do it far more reliably and gracefully. The Nokia 770’s aptitude at providing a pocket-size window on the Web can’t overcome its ineptitude at almost everything else.
Nokia and Linksys are forming a partnership, where Linksys (a Cisco Systems company) will now bundle 770 with some of the wireless gateways Linksys is selling, Nordic Wireless Watch says.
Head out to Projekttit (whatever that means) to download a 770 video encoding script for your Linux box:
Encode770 is a shell script for encoding videos for Nokia 770. The idea of the script is to add it to your file manager’s (Nautilus, Konqueror, etc) menu so that it can be invoked for video files. The script makes a new video ending with _770.avi in the same directory. It opens a xterm window where it runs the encoding process. This makes it easy to encode wanted files with your favourite file manager.
Nokia 770 is featured on CNET’s worst tech of 2006 list:
This thing, it surfs Internet. You want to make phone call? You can’t make phone call. You like Ethernet? No Ethernet. You get Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is nice. No wires! You like slow load times? Yes? It is good for that. You like battery that lasts more than three hours? It does not have one. Nice screen, though.
