Nokia Linux Internet Tablet Delayed

Nokia's Internet Tablet has been delayed due to software issues, the mobile phone maker told the Reuters on Wednesday. The Nokia 770 had originally been scheduled for a late summer launch. The tablet runs on the Linux operating system, and would allow users to check e-mail, browse the Web and view multimedia files.

According to Nokia, the finalization of the tablet's operating system took longer than anticipated, causing a delay in shipment. The device is expected to retail for $350 USD and will first be available in the United States and Europe. Initial versions will not have phone capabilities, but Nokia plans to add those features in future updates.
