For everyone who has joined in the past couple of weeks I would like to revive the discovery we made here in mid November that the 770 reaches far beyond the limitations of PDA's in that it functions elegantly as a remote touchscreen display to applications running remote to it over both the local and the wide area network. This is what any display is doing when it's being used as a web browser but it means that applications which are built upon the X Window System, or X, can be enjoyed by 770 owners without having to actually be installed on the 770 first and without having to be constrained by the processing limitations of the 770 itself. In plainspeak, because the 770 can be used as a wireless X terminal, you ain't seen nuthin' yet.
