What is it: Small tablet that connects to the Web through Wi-Fi
What we think: A good first attempt at a new concept from Nokia, and certainly usable, but there are a few lessons to learn for next time around

We like:
Easy-to-use software; great screen; highly portable
We don't like:
Lacking internal memory; PC connectivity only shows flash memory card space, not internal memory; opening too many applications slows the device down; needs to be bigger
You might also need:
Bluetooth mobile phone, Wi-Fi wireless network, RS-MMC cards
CNET UK judgement:
Nokia's 770 Internet Tablet is a good first attempt at a format that's difficult to get right. The compromise between size and usability is a hard one to strike, and while we'd like a bigger device we can see why Nokia has kept things small. The shortage of internal memory detracts from the experience, and it is expensive. We'll keep an eye out for the next version

It adds in a few extras like music playing, image and video viewing, and some gaming. Continue Reading...
