Nokia to Put Google Talk on its Linux Tablet 97

Posted by Zonk on Saturday May 13, 2006 @04:44PM from the lots-of-things-to-like-here dept.

prostoalex writes "The next version of Nokia 770 Linux-based Internet tablet with WiFi support will feature Google Talk with VOIP in its next release, MSNBC reports. The device is priced to sell at $390, and both Google and Nokia agree that right now it might appeal only to niche markets. In related news, however, it means Google's GTalk client will be ported to Linux, even if it's Nokia 770-specific software architecture."

At its Mix '06 conference in Las Vegas, reports Microsoft Watch, company execs insisted that there's a bright future for IE. They not only distributed a 'layout-complete' build of IE 7.0, but offered hints about what the new version of the browser geeks love to disdain (yes, it will include ActiveX) will include. Also shown: tools to test IE compatibility. But with what? Standards or IE 6?"

Actually, you can replace Access applications with webbased solutions. All you need is XUL, which is an XML based language where you define basic entities like buttons and trees, which get parsed. If you've worked with Firefox/Mozilla you're already familiar with XUL, since the entire interface is built in XUL. Ofcourse it has one major drawback, it only works on Firefox/Mozilla browsers.
