Engadget had something similar.

I followed their link to the one I posted ;)

That's what I'm talkin' about Hedgecore! The ability to stay connected without actually being connected.

I saw about the same information in 3 blogs (found via technorati), and my impression was that someone had talked with Nokia staff at the 3GSM tradeshow/conference/whatever. I'm waiting for any official announcements as they probably have better information on the upcoming model(s) and specs :)

I'd like to see them make as an accessory: a small/portable battery powered stand/dock/USB hub that basically switches the 770 from client to host mode when you plug it in and has 4 powered USB ports on it for devices. Optionally the entire setup can be powered/recharged by a external wall power adapter. Lastly it's color coordinated :D

Now that would be a very good accessory. Another would be a small web/media server for the 770 that could connect remotely.

How about a combo USB Mouse with retracting cord and USB hub?

Not exactly a powered USB hub, but very small and self contained, might be hackable to provide power for USB devices:

Yeah, that 7 days of standby time is just so painfully short. :)

Why stop there? Make the mouse wireless via Bluetooth, bundle it with the powered USB hub with multi-flash memory card reader. I'd buy one of those without flinching.

Except it's not 7 days - even Nokia specs it out at 4 days. In the two 770's I've had, if I do any amount of significant surfing in the evening, then the battery is significantly discharged by the next evening, without any use in the meantime, and with the cover fully on. One of the 770's was completely stock, with the latest firmware, and had no games, etc. that keep the dyntick active.

Dyntick is nice in theory, but in practice, it doesn't work nearly as well as the more traditional standby schemes used in other portable devices, where you could go weeks without losing significant battery power, other than the usual self-discharge common to all lithium based batteries.
