Nokia 770
Sorely tempted at the current knock down price of these tablets. I have a spare BT receiver, is anyone on here running a tablet with any GPS software eg. Navicore? If any good it would make a nice in car GPS and MP3.
Thanks, BCP

Still expansys at £73.40. If I can find some bargain GPS software and a £9.99 2Gb card, I'll have a rather nifty in car player plus wifi tablet. Just need a lead on some software.

The reviews seem to suggest it will take about 14 days. I saw the maemo site, I've had a few brushes with shareware back in Psion days. If it works great, I seem to remember lots of bugs though. Anyone using the GPS mapper?

Navigation kit now on expansys. Looks like you can use the maps on any symbian phone as well! Interesting.

Now running the Navicore software on the 770. £55 for kit off ebay (incl. car kit and Nokia BT receiver). Excellent quality and worthwhile if anyone looking for a GPS that does a bit more.
