Have you seen Nokia's 770 Internet Tablet? Hide your wallet while you take a look. At $360, it's a bit pricey, but let me tell you, users can't stop raving about how great it is.
First of all, it's an internet appliance, which has a primary mission of getting you online to do common tasks, like check your email, find out where that movie you want to see is playing, surf at will, listen to music, and look at photos. The latest version also lets you IM and make voip internet phone calls.
You can get online via wireless connections or using your Bluetooth enabled cell phone, and enjoy the internet on a portable device with a landscape oriented 4.31 inch display, 800 x 480 resolution (that's been called "pin-sharp" by a number of happy users), and 65,536 colors to play with. Plus, it has a USB port, so you can connect it to your PC. Did I mention it can make voip calls?
It comes standard with:
- Key Applications
- Web Browser (Opera 8) with Flash player
- Internet calling
- Instant Messaging
- Email Client

I would go on and on and on and on, but then I think you get the point.
