Nokia Internet Tablet

Update: Pictures of Pepper Pad at C3 Expo

Nokia just announced they will be releasing a tablet computer running Linux that can connect through Wifi/Bluetooth. If ideas are already running through your mind, you can check out their website for developers. Their announcement also reminded me of the Pepper Pad, another soon-to-be released tablet PC running Montavista linux. According to the WSJ, Nokia's tablet will sell for around $350 while the Pepper Pad will cost $800. However, the Pepper Pad has a larger screen and packs more computing power. A quick comparison of the two tablets.
