I’ve been babbling like a stoolie for Pepper here for the past couple weeks, but after some prodding by Roger Sperberg I’ve started to take a serious look at the Nokia 770 linux-based internet tablet. To get me started is Mike Cane’s hands on report from some time spent with it at LinuxWorld Expo. Nokia is pushing Maemo.org to support the developer/hacker community, and there’s already some interesting work being done. And Mike Cane is keeping things up to date at Mike Cane’s ersatz 770 blog.
The 770 has a lot to like, including a nice 800×480 screen, WiFi, and a much lower price than the Pepper Pad. But I’m concerned about its dependance on handwriting recognition and that its small size may actually be counterproductive for my purposes.

Without a qwerty keyboard it is useless as far as i’m concerned. Granted I have complaints about Pepper’s keyboard, but at least it has one.
how long the battery
Three points about text imput –
1) Maybe 225 pixels-per-inch will improve handwriting recognition. Hard to tell until you have it in hand though
2) An on-screen (720 or 800 pixels wide) keyboard pops up when you’re in a place expecting text input. This may not be perfect, but it’s not awful, especially if it’s just a URL you’re entering.
3) Lots of people have been working out how to get a USB or Blue Tooth keyboard to work with the 770. I expect something to come out before too long.
how much is that
[...] The Pepper Pad (and the Nokia 770, I like them both) may be able to open that market of more than 80 million Americans who find their cellphone an essential part of their lives, but don’t have the same feelings for Internet access. [...]
[...] Gizmodo’s reporting the Nokia 770 is in customer’s hands and getting some buttons pushed. Now we’ve got Nokia and Pepper exploring this space. Where to next? [...]
