Engadget has this picture up of what they call a 770 based device with GPS support built in. The specs (which are translated from French... badly) don't look all that impressive, so I figure it must be a 770 relative. Supposed to be available before the holidays. Looks a little smaller too. What do you think?

Yeah, looks like the 770's kid brother. A somewhat more limited, but GPS enabled, device.

South-Korea churns out dozens of models like this every day. Most of them even have digital tv receivers built in as well.
The 770 was a revolution, this is a copy.

If you read further on Engadget, there's no mention of whether this device will run Linux... While the case may look like a 770, there's no relation. That device will play media as well, further divergence from a relationship between the two.

Indeed, if you look at the French site, it mentions WinCE.net.

Ah, I thought I'd read that on Engadget but didn't want to say it lest I was corrected. But I was anyway

Don't mention such scary things like WinCE, there could be children around. 
Seriously, since I had to use WinCE on a Siemens Simpad everytime I hear that word it scares the wits out of me.

Unfortunately, it's also the only platform decent HWR (PenOffice) will run on.

GPS = Yay
Video = Yay
Resolution = Boo
SD = Yay
Baby steps, eh Nokia?
Sorry I've been so absent from the boards, all. I got promoted at my "day job" and it's been taking a lot of time.
