770 Periphery

One of the more curious things that I’ve seen from the 770 is “Web – loading” when you start the browser. If I had been tasked with creating a portable browser, I suspect that I would have found a way to pre-load the browser. It makes me wonder, is this a sign that Nokia has bigger plans than just browsing, or is it a lack of confidence in the device as an internet tablet?

I’m hoping for the bigger plans option, Maemo and Scratchbox are right in all the ways that the Zaurus dev environment was wrong, especially for cross-compiling applications. If Nokia sticks with the 770 for as long as they did the N-Gage, I suspect it will have a bright future indeed.
