According to the San Jose Business Journal, Google and Nokia are partnering to make the already existing Nokia 770 Internet tablet "Googleized", loading it with a Google-designed browser and a version of GoogleTalk. Few details are available at the moment, but the Wall Street Journal, which is also running the story, the upgraded device will retail for around $390. Which is strange because the current 770 retails for about $350 and Google usually gives software away. I am not sure what other mods are being made to the device to relaunch it with the Google imprimatur, but they better be good for $40. This may revive my interest in the 770.

UPDATE: The device was released this morning in Stockholm at VON Europe. More info and a webcast can be found here.
