VP of convergence products, Janne Jormalainen, said, "With the Nokia 770
Internet Tablet consumers can access broadband Internet services away
from their desktop. Linux and the Open Source development platform
provide us with fast and efficient solutions to build products for this
new Nokia product category. This is the first step in creating an Open
Source product for broadband and Internet services. We will be launching
regular updates of the software. The next software release, planned for
the first half of next year, will support more presence-based
functionalities, such as VoIP and Instant Messaging."
