Nokia has just announced the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet.

Nokia 770

Now this wouldn’t be interesting (at least for me), but the 770:

Runs Debian GNU/Linux (kernel 2.6) in an ARM processor
The user interface is GNOME based
They created an open platform called Maemo and they are encouraging maemo developers to use the GPL

The maemo platform can be seen here:

You can, of course, download the entire thing from Maemo’s apt repositories, and they recommend the use of Debian or Ubuntu Linux.

And of course, at least in it’s default configuration, it doesn’t play OGG :-(
