I'm looking forward to version 2 and more of the product and hope Nokia are avidly reading all our comments.

There really is nothing out there equal to the 770 at it's price point . As for the openness of the OS, that is really a bigger factor than most realize. Nokia pays attention to comments, but there are not a lot of them, they are overworked and, in the end, they must obey the commands of the company.

I can imagine Apple will be the next on the tablet pc bandwagon. They've got the marketing clout and brand awareness from the ipod to really make tablet devices a mainstream product.

I certainly would not hold my breath on that. Apple was severely burned with the Newton and is quite gun-shy over tablet-based anything. Yes, I can guaratee you they are playing around with the notion at the "Apple Campus" in Cupertino and there is most certainly a MacTablet sitting on a lab bench out there--but that is about as far as it goes. Unitil they see the shiny glint of market share, they will not budge on this.

I can also see myself owning two devices in the future - the 770 for a more pocketable and in car device and (hopefully... please Nokia ) a nice Nokia 880 7-10" 1024x768 device for around the home and office! One can dream!
