"...Stockholm, Sweden - Today at the VON Europe conference in Stockholm, Nokia introduced a new software upgrade for the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. The upgraded features of the introduced OS 2006 edition include support for rich Internet communications, including pre-installed Google Talk(TM) - all on a portable broadband mobile device. Google Talk(TM) is Google's free instant messaging service that enables people to chat and make calls through the Internet.

Additional features of the new software edition include enhanced text typing with full-screen finger keyboard, improved memory performance and refreshed look. There is also an improved home view desktop allowing users to choose from a variety of small applets to enable fast access to Internet services.

"We are pleased to offer this software upgrade to both the existing user base of the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet as well to new users. Since the launch of the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, we have received a lot of positive feedback along with requests for both small and large improvements.

That icon looks like a new connection indicator. Hopefully combined with the phone status bar icon as well to save space.

Cheers,

The press release says that it will be available in the second quarter. But apparently the webcast says "June" so there is still a little more waiting to be done before we can get our hands on it.

Unless nokia does the right thing and releases the OS for developers in maemo.org before putting it into theyr own website so that the developers can compile and make new debs for the new OS.
