Any thoughts how the merge between Nokia and Siemens could affect development for the 770?

I thought it was just their networking divisions.

The next 770 will be 30 by 21 cms and run Windows CE.net 4.1. Also, it will be called "SimKia".

It's just the networking divisions. Should have zero impact on the mobile phone / gadget departments.

Hm...Siemens makes ultramobile laptops through its extensive cooperation with Fujitsu.

(the 770 is NOT a laptop of course, but it's at least tangentially related).

If we're lucky, maybe Siemens can bring access to certain higher-end parts for the 770.

(I've got a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo m3438. It's not the greatest build quality, but has very high-end components at the lowest price in Europe...)

Well, I've got a SimPad, which is not a bad machine but, remarkably, seems to suffer from the same sort of mistakes that Nokia's 770 R&D team seem to have made: 64 mb of RAM, only one PCMCIA slot, USB is slave-only, no Bluetooth, no WiFi built in (requiring a weird combo card if you want both WiFi and added storage) and some more I probably forgot.

They're not the same mistakes as those of the 770, obviously, but there is an eerie familiarity there...

Screen and battery life are nice, though...

To quote Dr. Who: This is the end.

Don't you guys get it?
It's ONLY their network divisions.
NOT their hardware stuff.
