[svlug] Nokia 770 and its Maemo platform

[Sameer Verma]

Hi all,
I got a Nokia 770 sometime last year. This is a device from Nokia that
runs on a version of Debian, and is geared towards the average consumer.
IIRC, someone on this list had mentioned it when it first came out.

Well, recently, Nokia updated its OS to the very latest one called
"Internet Tablet OS 2006". Some of the neat things about this
device+platform are the apps that come with it and of course, a bunch of
third-party apps written by others. GoogleTalk, Gizmo VoIP, MaemoMapper
(GPS), etc.

I've taken a bunch of screenshots and written about it a bit. I was
talking about it with Mark Nielsen and Paul Reiber at Installfest
earlier today. Thought I'll pass it along.
