Nokia displays Nokia 770 with Linux Support

Nokia is a mobile phone company. They are the world leaders when it comes to mobile phones and technology. However, they are now looking into alternative products. They have just showcased pocket-sized device usable as a web browser in the wireless broadband networks and it comes powered by Linux.

One of the surprising things about this particular product release is that it comes without a mobile phone. This is a first for the Nokia as a company and might not be the last. They call it Nokia 770 and it comes with a four-inch horizontal touch screen that can display normal Internet pages. The company is aiming to sell it for around USD 350.

The product is a major policy change for the company as they venture into devices without phoning capabilities. They are targeting to sell this device through the Internet Service Providers and through their website. The company claims that the device will open up a totally new product segment as they plan to get into items providing convergence of services.

Nokia should be launching this product in the retail segment sometime during the third quarter of the year.
