The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet is a wireless internet appliance from Nokia, originally announced at the LinuxWorld Summit in New York on May 25, 2005.[1] It is designed for wireless internet browsing and e-mail functions and includes software such as internet radio, an RSS news reader, image viewer and media players for selected types of media.

The device went on sale in Europe on November 3, 2005, at a suggested retail price of €349 to €369 (£245 in the United Kingdom).[2] In the United States, the device became available for purchase through Nokia USA’s web site on November 14, 2005 for $359.99; Initial customers reported long shipment delays due to apparent high demand and supply shortages which have since been resolved.

Hardware

The Nokia 770 is powered by a Texas Instruments OMAP 1710 CPU running at 250 MHz, which combines the ARM architecture of the ARM926TEJ core subsystem with a TMS320C55x digital signal processor. The device has a display resolution of 800 × 480 pixels at 225 pixels per inch. It is accessible via WLAN (IEEE 802.11b/g), Bluetooth 1.2, dial-up access, USB (both user-mode, and non powered host-mode), and RS-MMC (both RS-MMC and DV-RS-MMC cards are supported). The device contains a speaker and a microphone. It comes with 64MB of DDR RAM, and 128MB of internal FLASH memory, of which about 64MB should be available to the user.

The unit measures 141 × 79 × 19 mm (5.5 × 3.1 × 0.7 in) and weighs 230 g (8.1 oz) with protective cover or 185 g (6.5 oz) without. The device is manufactured in Estonia and in Germany.

Software

The operating system is a modified version of Debian GNU/Linux (running Linux 2.6.12), including a graphical user interface (an X window manager incorporating the GTK+ toolkit and Hildon widgets), a PDF viewer, the Opera internet browser, with BusyBox replacing many system commands. The development platform for the Nokia 770 is known as Maemo. The Opera web browser and built in video/music player applications are capable of supporting the following file formats:

Audio: MP3, RealAudio, MPEG-4, AAC, WAV, AMP, MP2
Image: JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PNG, Animated GIF, SVG Tiny, ICO
Video: MPEG-1, MPEG-4, RealVideo, H.263, AVI, 3GP

Internet Tablet OS 2006 Edition

On May 16, 2006 Nokia announced a new version of the Internet Tablet operating system which includes major improvements in response to user requests.[3]

Most notable of these improvements include a thumb-driven on-screen keyboard for fast text input and Jabber-based Voice over IP and instant messaging software. The VoIP software is compatible with Google Talk. Also included was the ability to support 2Gb RS-MMC cards (formatted - FAT32). This upgrade will be the default OS shipped on new Internet Tablets and became available as a downloadable upgrade for existing users on June 30, 2006. The Linux kernel has been upgraded to 2.6.16 with the associated patches for the OMAP platform. This new version is pre-emptible for improved interactivity.

On June 9, 2006 Nokia released a beta version of the development platform aimed at developers porting their programs to Internet Tablet 2006 Edition (shortened to IT2006). End users were advised to remain with the April IT2005 edition until IT2006 was officially released. Some of the final features in IT2006 were not yet present in the beta, such as multi-protocol messaging.[4]

The full release version of the Internet Tablet OS 2006 edition was posted by Nokia on June 30, 2006

Versatility

Because of the Linux based operating system and the open-source contributions from Nokia, the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet has a great appeal to the hacker and DIY markets. Programmers are porting applications to the maemo platform allowing a much more rapidly growing application catalog than other mobile platforms would enjoy.[6] The inclusion of WiFi, Bluetooth, and USB host functionality (through a hack) permits enthusiasts to expand their tablets to include USB mass storage, bluetooth GPS receivers, a normal USB keyboard, or other devices.

Criticism

The Nokia 770 has received some criticism from technology reviewers. Among their chief complaints were the slow CPU and small memory size, as well as poor input methods and short battery life (in case of continuous WiFi usage). Many found tapping on the on-screen keyboard was slow, and that the handwriting recognition was very inaccurate. Another chief complaint was that the device used Reduced-Size MMC cards that were hard to find and had a maximum storage capacity of 1 GB (2 GB capacity is supported through a hack). Yet another complaint was that the item lacked the functions of a mobile PDA, such as cell phone functionality or wired Ethernet, which could have been added, had the tablet a built-in extension system.[7]

Many 770 fans pointed out that the primary function of the device was a quick way to access the internet, and that the 770 was never intended to replace normal PCs and laptops.

The Sony Vaio UX Micro PC is an Ultra-Mobile Portable Computer (UMPC) that weighs around 490-544g (1.20-1.27 lbs) with a hardware QWERTY keyboard, touchscreen, Intel Core Solo processor, Bluetooth, WiFi, and WWAN. Though not officially stated as such, and even to a point implied by Sony that the UX is a move in a new direction and not a specific continuation of such, the Sony UX is speculated by some to be the newest model in the popular Sony U-series.

The Q1 is one of the first ultra mobile computers (UMPC) produced under Microsoft’s Origami project. The Samsung can boot into two different modes, one normal Windows XP (OS can be replaced) and one AVS mode running Windows XP Embedded. The AVS mode boots up much faster and will enable a user to play music and videos. This feature lacks in many other UMPCs.

People have been able to install Microsoft Vista and run this successfully on the Q1 as well. The CF port has by some testers been reported as being very slow compared to using an external card reader in the USB 2.0 port. Future releases could benefit greatly from a fast CF and SD card slot because these devices can also work very good as photo backup and proofing units (similar to dedicated units like the Epson P-2000). Unfortunately, Samsung has removed the CF port altogether in the Q1b version, and chances are that it will be removed in future versions as well.

Samsung Q1 SSD

The SSD version is identical to the Q1 but instead of a 40 GB harddrive has been fitted with Samsungs new 32 GB Solid State Drive. Not only does this make the device much faster, but also uses less power than a normal 1.8″ harddrive. The SSD version is about twice as expensive as the normal Q1, but even so that probably makes the 32 GB drive the cheapest SSD drive of its size today. Expect SSD drives to become a commonly found feature among UMPCs and all portable devices as prices come down on this technology.

Samsung Q1b

The Samsung Q1b is Samsung’s second UMPC device, with a much improved battery life and 30% brighter screen compared to the Q1. The CF port and the Ethernet port has been removed on this version. It also has a mono speaker and a single microphone. This is probably to increase battery lifetime as well as cutting production costs down.

Samsung Q1 Pentium M

This is almost identical to the original Q1 but with a faster 1Ghz Pentium M processor (723) which enables speedstep technology for better battery usage. Its uncertain though that its battery lifetime is much better than the original, which has by many been regarded as too short. The new model Q1b has a bit improved batterylifetime. Its possible to buy a 6-cell battery instead of the default 3-cell to double the time on all these devices. The Pentium edition also has:

1 GB DDR2 RAM
60 GB Hard Drive
Intel GMA 950 chipset
The Intel GMA 950 chipset is approximately a 2.5 times faster graphics processor than the GMA 900 found in standard Q1.

Memory Upgrade

The Samsung Q1 can hold a total of 1 GB of memory, and it is possible to upgrade the 512 MB versions by getting the right SODIMM type of memory. The upgrade involves opening the device which will probably void your warranty, locating the memory chip and swapping it. There are some instructions how to do this on jkOnTheRun. Note however that people report that the AVS function cease to work after the memory upgrade and you might have to adjust some bios settings or reinstall the AVS partition.
