Just came across this article on the Nokia N800.

http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS9981902594.html

"Nokia has quietly begun delivering an upgrade to its Linux-based 770
Internet Tablet. The Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is available now from at
least two retail stores in the U.S., priced at $399.99, CompUSA's
Chicago "superstore" has confirmed."
