My.Opera.Com – free portal for your 770

Want a really excellent web experience with your 770? Want 300 free megs to host your blog, pictures, email and probably more? Check out http://my.opera.com. You can sign up for a free account and get all that stuff- plus it looks perfect and feels responsive using the Opera Mobile Browser on the 770. It should of course, seeing how its Opera that's coding it.

Check out my page: nokia dreaming. Not too shabby eh?

If you join, link to me as a friend-- I'm dillera.

New Browser in next release of Internet Tablet Software?

I have no evidence for this, other than my own investigations, but could Nokia be planning to replace the Opera Mobile browser that is currently included in the Internet Tablet Software (i.e. the 770's Linux OS) with their in-house S60 browser (here is the official Nokia page), which is based on Apple's own WebCore (Apple's Official Page). Apple in turn developed WebCore from KDE's open-sourced KHTML engine. Anyone that has used a Macintosh knows that Safari, the Apple WebCore based browser, is very fast and 'light-weight' when compared to something like Firefox. I can only imagine that the S60 browser would do very well in the cramped RAM of the 770. While the Opera browser is pretty at first glance, when you use it over time you realize that it's slow and takes up a lot of your precious RAM, and Nokia needs something faster for 770.

Also, it's been quiet lately from Nokia- I hope they have a new Internet Tablet 2006 version ready to release to us soon.

Don’t tell me this isn’t aimed at the 770

Leaked picture of the Origami Device?

Look at those buttons- they even have the same zoom button as the 770 (but the zoom is lower left instead of upper right). You can't tell me that a device like this isn't isn't going to stomp all over the nascent Internet Tablet space... No word if this is just a mock-up or if it's a real device, but the Origami Portal website is tracking this space.

Of course, if Origami is really running XP Tablet, then there is still room for Nokia to wiggle in and get some traction- if they can come out with a device that is snappy. Please put some serious RAM and CPU in the 880- or else it will never stack up with an Origami.

Update: Nice rundown of the Origami Project, plus a shout-out to other Internet devices, including the 770-- over at Windows For Devices
