InfoSync World take a look at the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. It's the size of a large handheld, but has no Personal Information Management (PIM) applications. It also bears more than a passing resemblance to the Nokia 7710 business phone with which it shares numerous user interface traits, but doesn't include cellular connectivity.

Appropriately dubbed a tablet, the 770 is a thin and sleek slate of a device, cleverly residing in an aluminum sleeve which can be worn either with the display facing out- or inwards, the latter of which protects its screen. Said screen is the main attraction of the device, delivering a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels across 4.1-inch of bright and crisp real estate which lets users interact with its Linux-powered operating system by way of stylus.

As it name belies, the 770 Internet Tablet is all about connectivity. A range of applications exploit its Wi-Fi 802.11g and Bluetooth connectivity capabilities, of which the Opera 8-based web browser is the jewel in the crown. Through its comprehensive support for standards including JavaScript and Flash 6, it allows for the viewing of virtually any web site, and also includes an optimization feature which adapts web sites created for larger resolutions to the display of the 770.

Unfortunately, several aspects impair the web browsing experience, of which the most notable is slow page loading and navigation due to the rather lax 250 MHz processor - particularly if Flash ads are running rampant. Also, large pages can exhaust the somewhat limited 64 MB of RAM, requiring users to close browser tabs and even other applications in order to continue viewing.
