Tech Eye: Hard to swallow

But when we saw this, like a schoolgirl touched by her best friend's older brother, we just had to tell someone. So, despite the fact that we have no prices and no confirmed release date, we give you Nokia's foray into the tablet world (no, it's not the latest laxative) and we are impressed. The 770 Internet Tablet gives you mobile wireless broadband web access over WI-FI, with file streaming and online applications. It plays music and video and runs piles of other applications. The design is achingly hip with an ultra-smooth touch-screen display of 800 x 480 and supports MP3, Real Audio, MPEG4, WAV, PDF and a pile of other file formats. Storage is 64MB RAM and RS-MMC, it runs on Linux-based software, which makes us happy, and will give you three hours browsing and seven days' standby time on one battery charge. However, the ad campaign didn't impress us one bit. Believe me, if we had stocks and shares to check during the ad break of our favorite TV program, we wouldn't be slaving away writing this poor excuse for a review column now would we? Check www.nokia.com for more details on when you can get your sweaty palms on one (autumn, hopefully) and how much of your ill-earned money it will cost you.
