Hi-definition is quickly becoming the latest trend. It's already becoming a fundamental part of console video games, and now it looks like Nokia's set in bringing it to the world of mobile phones as well. Their new ambitious project aims to have their phones deliver full HD video at 30 frames per second via USB or WLAN. Details and a video of the tech in action in the full article.

Windows-haters rejoice! From Nokia comes the 770, a Linux-driven, Bluetooth-enabled internet tablet that can connect to the Net via a WLAN of the 802.11b or g variety. The 770 is quite larger than the largest smartphone in the market right now, with a 4.3-inch, 800 x 480 pixel touch-screen. Since it's totally Linux-driven, all the applications it's packed with are independent of the Windows stranglehold on PC technology. Applications include IM and VoIP capabilities.

The Nokia 770 also doubles as a music player. It has an onboard filing system that lets you sift through your song collection, as well as some buttons on its side that lets you do the same. It also has internet radio, and supports nearly all audio and video formats. Storage capacity is at 1GB, with an extended virtual memory card.

The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet also comes with peripherals galore, including headphones and two stylus pens. Buyers will have to remember to keep the tablet's mobile charger close at all times, though, since the battery has a browsing life of just three hours.

We have featured earlier about the possibility of a web-surfing device by Google and Nokia that would be enjoyed tremendously by the Nokia 770. Well, that project is still in its development stage, but the Nokia people is bringing some updates to the Nokia 770's Internet Tablet Software. This update includes small feature enhancements and corrections which provide improved performance, and it is also available for Nokia 770's European users.

To be able to take advantage of this update, check the version number of the current software on your Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, tap on the task navigator, and select Control panel > Device > About product. The update entails the following system requirements:
