Following my post on Monday about not feeling so good, I was out of work for the next three days and only managed to get back into work while heavily drugged today, Friday. Night Nurse was my eventual saviour but unfortunately I had to resist all desires I had to operate heavy machinery.
Arrived to work to find my colleagues sitting around chatting. Realised why when I got to my desk and found my workstation powered down - a power outage! The services in our building are managed pretty shoddily, yes there is a UPS but it tripped too and the on-site staff aren’t skilled enough to give (or understand) detailed answers, and while we don’t have a huge number of infrastructure servers we do have a huge number of servers in general in a few places in a the building so recovery from a power outage takes a while. Of course it’d be much more efficient if I had the console server(s) I want.
Further to the maybe of travel to Milan, I am flying out next Wednesday morning and will be returning Friday morning. Just a short stop-over.
The gig on Monday was fun, wasn’t our best but it’s always fun to play gigs and now we have another Whelans gig under our belts.
Oh, look what I have:
^_^
So pretty. So, so pretty. Does it sport the bluetooth audio headset profile doodah? Cos I imagine with a Skype (or similar) client that could be a nifty little wifi phone..?
Cool, have you played around with the 770 much? What is your opinion of it? I was tempted to get one of these, but wondered would a PSP better serve my needs.
Don’t know about the audio profile, I’ll find out. The next official OS release from Nokia will have VOIP and IM capabilities. A skype build would be nice but don’t expect anything to come from Skype quickly :)
I just got my hands on it this evening and for what it was designed to be, an Internet tablet, it performs exactly. Of course it’s not at all aimed at the same tasks or market as the PSP.
did you get it off ebay? that looks really cool. not sure how much they retail for. that’s an excellent device!
But there is definitely some overlap betweent the PSP and the 770. Both have decent screen size and resolution, both support WiFi, and both have internet browsers.
So I am wondering what is the main benefit of the 770 over the internet functionality of the PSP?

open-sourced-ness!
Hope you’re having fun Cliph.
jb, got it from the US.
Johnny K, The PSP and 770 share very little. Sure they have screens and wifi but that’s where it ends. The PSP is a portable games console that had a web browser added in the last revision of its firmware. Input, in particular text entry, is a serious pain. The web-browser, and any other Internet features that device gets are after-thoughts. It’s a games console.
The 770 is not a games console, it is a device for accessing the Internet while mobile. And it does that equally as well as the PSP plays games.
