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. The device features GTalk and a VGA video-call camera via WiFi.

This seems consistent with an OMAP 2420 or 2430 chip, the difference between the two being the presence of an embedded DSP. This implies that the new handheld has a 330 MHz CPU, and a 2D/3D graphics and video accelerator (and maybe a DSP). The presence of the video accelerator should alleviate many complaints about the 770 not being able to push video at the native 800x480 resolution of the screen.
