Fresh GPS tablet from Nokia

Nokia's new tablet leaks online, sporting GPS for added spiffiness!

Nokia's 770 was a grand idea - a portable computer to hook you up with e-mail and web access at the click of a stylus - and it had a gorgeous screen too.

Now it looks like those industrious Finns have created its successor, taking a leaf out of the N95's book and cramming in GPS too.

The new model, currently doing the rounds online in the form of shaky camera phone shots and these "semi-official" photos, looks much smaller than the original, and more entertainment focused.

The main menu of what some are now calling the 330 shows options for viewing videos and photos, navigating via GPS and playing MP3s.

Support for DivX movies is also touted, with the device packing a respectable, albeit not massive, 3.5-inch screen.

We'd love to see Nokia branch out into portable GPS systems. The N95's downloadable maps and constantly updated point of interest data means it's set to be one of the most handy devices going, but not everyone will want a smart phone of such high calibre.

If the latest rumblings are true, the 770's about to be upstaged by its newer, smaller sibling.
