Following a beta release on June 9, Nokia has released a highly anticipated Linux operating system update for the 770 Internet Tablet. The Tablet OS 2006 update is now available for download by 770 owners on Nokia's website. The Tablet OS 2006 upgrade apparently completely wipes out all Tablet OS 2005 applications. Specifically, the Nokia 770 upgrade page states, "Installed applications designed for OS 2005 will not be compatible with OS 2006 edition and will not be restored even from backup."

On a related note, has anyone worked out how the device detects that the cover has been applied? My careful examination has found no hidden buttons or such... Possibly some sort of magnetic switch?
Yep, it's a magnetic switch - you can see the little magnet on the inside of the cover.
