Although Nokia has been telling us we'd have to wait for the new Nokia 770 Internet tablet, it looks like folks in Europe are already getting product. The device, a linux-based terminal that is WiFi enabled, is not a phone. Let me repeat that. It is not a cellphone, even though it's being made by Nokia. It is dedicated solely to web browsing and e-mail and it is really, really fine looking. It's also got Internet radio, a news reader, file manager and media players — and my guess is that we will be seeing it here in the US real soon. From what I've been told, it should run around $300.
