[Discuss] Ultimate Linux Handheld

[Gerry Rozema]

My 770 is basically all 'as delivered', so I believe the card is either 
a 32 or 64meg flash.  I haven't upgraded it at all.  It was provided as 
a development platform which was to be used as a prototype for an 
embedded product concept, but, we didn't proceed on that project after 
it arrived, so it's basically been sitting on the shelf for the better 
part of a year, unused.  I'll try get it flashed up with the latest 
nokia image this afternoon before we head down to victoria, and get vnc 
on it so we can get it's display up on the overhead.

This is actually a good excuse for me to get it up to the latest version 
of nokia software, and cycle it back into my 'on the desk and in use' 
pile of gadgets because I have another project in the concept stage 
right now, which I intend to use the n770 as the proof of concept 
prototype host platform.  it's a handy little linux box that fits in a 
shirt pocket, runs forever on a battery charge, and has an 800x480 
display, and wifi.  It's ideal for proofing concepts for dedicated 
little mobile gadgets in an industrial setting.  I never got it for it's 
functionality as a pda or such, but rather to have a little mobile linux 
box with a display and network, that we can use for proofing concepts 
for industrial applications.
