Yeah, the huge consumer success they prepared for by manufacturing a
big batch of devices straight off so everyone would get theirs. Oh,
wait! ;)

Judging from the LugRadio interview while back, the guys just hacked
around and it suddenly became the 770. So I'm not so sure even Nokia
has a clear goal for the device (apart from the obvious web
applications) but are instead hoping it would find one with the help
of open source community. And I've already heard dozens of interesting
ideas how it could be utilized, so it's probably working :)
