Nokia 770 sneak-preview: too slow

Mobile Pipeline got a hands-on encounter with the Nokia 770, and their overall take on it was not so much that it's
small (although they do mention that, too) as that it's slow. They report a few seconds of lag time between input and command execution, and there's no spinning cursor or other indication that the device is processing the command, which left them wondering whether or not they had missed the target with the stylus. It's also apparently not rocking the quick start-up time as touted by Nokia. Given that the device is likely to undergo some revs before it's released in Q3, it may see some improvements in response time before it hits the shelves — and Nokia had better make sure that improvement is significant if they plan to market this device on its convenience for quick "pick up and browse" as opposed to just firing up or walking over to the ol' PC.
