Hmm....

OggPlay - Quite possibly the finest music player in the world, ever.

TCPMP - The Core media player on Palm OS - could be nice.

A decent chess game with the ability play against other 770 users across the world, not just 20ft away (are you listening, Sony?)

Oh, and if we're sorting a keyboard for this thing, a word processor is a must have, especially given the size of that lovely, lovely screen.

Now I *know* you've been squinting at that PSP too long, Mas. Have you forgotten we've already got AbiWord?!

There might be another too. I'm going to contact a dev to inquire.

I totally agree with this. By enabling the calender/contact/notes/todo on the 770, it will act as a PDA too. 770 will be a dream machine which full fill these dream machine criteria:

1. Linux OS...hopefully more stable than window.
2. Changeable battery...which use nokia charger available everywhere....
3. USB host function.
4. Simple PIM function...at least sync with evolution....
5. Ebook reader..most important factor for me.
6. Multimedia player device....wont limited by battery life since it's battery is changeable.
7. Memory....may the rs-mmc may bit expensive....
....


Any way, since i didnt hv a real hand on, i dont know about the button lay out. I use a lot of PDA before, and now using nokia 4150. I am pretty frustrated by the small directional pad on nokia 4150, very hard to press though the thinness is impressive. I prefer large directional pad and large button..so no need to use finger nail to operate it. Any way, i will use it as simple PIM manager and ebook reader.

Just my 2 cent.

I think we should have a P2P client.

eDonkey -- http://www.edonkey.com -- is available for Linux. But eD2k (as it is known) is rather slow unless hundreds of people are hosting a file and online at that time.

What I prefer is LimeWire -- http://www.limewire.com -- which, alas, requires Java! Yet another reason why shipping the 770 *without* Java is a mistake. Nokia, are you reading this?

What P2P do you use, and which do you think could be easily ported to the 770?

I suggest Bit Torrent for Maemo.

Check out this one for the Pocket PC: http://www.adisasta.com/wmTorrent.html

For me the killer app will be able to use this it as a remote for music being streamed from my desktop. There are a good few ways of getting the music around the house now, but short of the Sonos package nothing to be able to easily select what's playing. My dream is for a iTunes-remote running on the 770 in the lounge.

Am I missing something but why put a P2P app on a tablet, there majority of the files used will be streamed over a WLAN?

At linuxadvocate.com, there are several interesting apps, including Studly, a flash-card app:

There are also a GPS map app, a Gnome font sampler and a Gnome screen ruler. Any and all of these would be great on the 770, but especially Studly, since I have a use for that.

Ereader is my program. I hope Nokia has the power to bring that program over. It looks like they did it for symbian.

I really need ereader everything else is optional. Maybe some classic video games would be nice. I like spy hunter, archon, and joust.

So far the games seem to be those that hvae been open-sourced. If you've seen these on Linux, there's a chance you'll see them on the Internet Tablets, I suspect.

Ereader was originally a Palm format right? From what was once Peanut Press? With Palm going to a Linux OS, I think this may well get ported, but who can say?

Best thing in this case is to write the ereader folk directly with info about using the 770 as an ebook reader, IMO.

As linux is the net OS a do hope for a "PCanyware" prog. It would be nice to sit in my coozy sofa and access my "downloadingPC" to se how it's going (and be able to download/start new torrent's and so on).

The n770 is a good bookreader and I hope it will be a good comic reader too;
