It just came to me as I was typing my previous post covering those 4 N800 reviews.

Imagine if the next Nokia Internet Tablet had a hardware keyboard. You install a little VNC type application on your S60 device and now you have the huge 800×400 screen + keyboard at your full disposal!

I would love to have such a solution. My main mobile phone would be an N76 (in black) and in my rucksack/briefcase I would have the Internet Tablet for when I need a more robust input mechanism and more screen real estate.

Is it possible Dr. Jaaksi?

Please say yes!

    VNC client and also VNC server are available for the N800/770 Internet Tablets already… it’s not clear to me what you are trying to achieve though – where does the S60 device come into this? If you want to use a hardware keyboard with the Internet Tablets just use a bluetooth keyboard – they work fine.

    the vlc server would be on the S60 device

    the vlc client would be on the N800

    Not sure why you’d need / want VNC server on the S60, but you can definitely connect (as noted above) both a server and client on the Tablet today… works great actually.
