Amazing price on Nokia770!

Nokia770-Orbiter

According to LinuxDevices.com at least two large online retailers are selling Nokia’s 770 Internet Tablet for $140 (originally it was priced at $400!). It’s really amazing price because some universal remote such Philips Pronto or Nevo are much expensive (as you may know Nokia770 can be used as control panel for home automation system Plutohome and for music streamer SlimServer).

That news is good for all folks who decided to use Nokia770 to control their homes using Plutohome. Together with Plutohome developer Christian Miron we modified SDL Orbiter to have possibility run it on Nokia770. Also, I created a simple Maemo application to handle the Orbiter easier from Nokia770 UI.

The latest (and mostly stable) version of Plutohome Orbiter for Nokia770 can be found here (os2006 and os2007 Hacker Edition). Also, you may try the Orbiter on your N800 as well.

      This is excellent news. Are there major advantages to get the N800 for plutohome control over the N770 ? (apart from the price)

    I see only three advantages N800 over 770: faster processor, more memory and better WiFi adapter. 770 sometimes loses connection without any reason but Orbiter is very critical to the connection. But generally, I prefer 770. It’s more handy for me than N800.
