[Tfug] OT: Nokia 770 Linux Tablet at local benefit auction

[Bowie J. Poag]

I actually own a 770 -- love it. Greatest little thing since sliced 
bread, and plenty of fun to hack.

The OS update due out in a month or two will have a querty keyboard 
touch screen, one you can use your fingers with versus the stylus. There 
are pictures of it floating around.
