The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet is easily the coolest gadget I've bought in a long time. It runs Linux, has Wifi, can connect to Bluetooth phones, has a great GPS program...the list goes on and on. And the best thing about it is that it's being sold CHEAP. $130 cheap! Check out the deal and some of the tutorials I've written.
As I don't have any other blogs to feature, I'll feature mine: Jeff's Blog And here you will find news about the site, etc. The Official DealMinded Blog

Storage
If you haven't yet, I'd highly recommend buying one of these reduced size MMC cards, so you can boot from MMC and have plenty of space for data. This will also give you an easy way to revert to the untouched system.
1 gig
2 gig
GPS
You may also want to purchase a bluetooth GPS unit (I have instructions on this below):
Garmin GPS10 (sensor only) @ 118.62 shipped, the Deluo GPS @ 112.72 shipped, or the Deluo GPS with DVD @ 114.76. I've heard good things about both of these, but for your own peace of mind, as they are somewhat expensive (although about the lowest prices you'll find for this quality) buying from Amazon makes returns relatively painless. If you want a cheaper option, Geeks.com has some great prices on two units.
Connecting USB devices
And if you want to connect USB devices to the 770, like a keyboard or storage device (external drive, memory stick, etc), follow my directions here.
The Y-cable you need can be found with this 2.5" hard-drive enclosure. At 9.12, shipped free, this is a great deal.

Hi Jeff! I have read with great interest your article about booting my Nokia770 from the MMC. I think I followed all the steps accurately, but it still doesn't seem to want to cooperate! Can you provide a few diagnostics? Or a few What if this happens... HELP! I'd like to boot from the MMC so I can do Memo Mapper with a few maps. Thanks....
