Evince 0.5.0 is out. What’s Evince? Evince is a document viewer. It primarily displays pdf, though djvu, tiff, dvi, postscript and even comics archives are also supported.
Remember Newton? Apple-branded PDA that some say was a complete product failure, some say was an idea ahead of its time? NewtOS/Einstein now works on Nokia 770. The neat photos are here, the binaries for Einstein are here.

Sean came around the other day and pointed to new strategic licensing agreement between Pepper Computer and HANBiT Electronics Co. Apparently we’ll be looking at a new price point for PepperPad some time soon, so the battle intensifies.
It’s tempting to root for one winner in the battle of Internet tablets, but hey, the cheaper they are, the more benefits there are for the final users and software development community around mobile tablets.

Quite detailed review from TuxTops with an extensive wishlist of features that are currently missing:
Grainy touchscreen! While the LCD underneath is indeed beautiful, the touchscreen layer above it, is extremely grainy. Very visible mostly when the background is white. It irks me.
No ability to install applications on the MMC card. Just by installing a few third party apps the other night, I was over 50% of the 64 MB of allowance and it resulted in a very limiting experience. No, adding more flash memory to the Nokia internally won’t do it for me because it will always be a finite number of bytes to deal with. I would need the ability the install apps on the flash card, as I can with the Zaurus and PocketPCs.

Neil McAllister from InfoWorld joined the discussion after quite a few comments were posted regarding InfoWorld’s fairly negative review of 770. Nokia 770 being a new product category? It ain’t quite so, says Neal:
As for the 770 being an entirely new product category, though… Nokia keeps saying so, but I’m not totally sure I buy it. We’ve seen lots of products like this one before. We call them PDAs. Nokia gave this PDA a better screen than any of the others we’ve seen so far, but it left out the most important part: the PDA software.

Looks like all those unrealistic shipping deadlines and release slips have been caused by Nokia’s cautiousness about the 770 future. The results so far? Nokia is positively surprised at the 770 uptake. According to Yahoo! News UK & Ireland article:
The Finish firm announced on Wednesday that, against its expectations, it is to increase production of its 770 Internet Tablet handheld after achieving huge online sales since it’s launch in early November. In fact, demand for the product in Europe and the US is so great that the company has currently run out of stock and customers are facing a minimum two-week wait for the device.BrightHand reports the news as well, adding some details on N770 for those who don’t know what the device is all about.
I didn’t get to go to CES this year, but I am quite surprised Nokia doesn’t show off 770 at the event targeted to consumer electronics distributors.
