Nokia delays 770 pre-orders into January

We're really trying not to be insensitive here, all spouting off about our Nokia 770 exploits on the podcast without giving recognition to those of you pining over neglected pre-orders of the device. Though we're saddened you can't yet effectively get your entire gadget fix vicariously through our snarky observations, we realize that there are some legitimate complaints to be levied at Nokia who has had to push back US shipments for their internet tablet — originally rumored for early November, then opened up for pre-order November 14th, supposedly shipping by the 17th — all the way to January 31st. Nokia is keeping pretty silent on the affair, other than those occasional date changes, but it seems like they've grossly underestimated demand, either that or they're having some last minute problems actually producing the device. Not cool Nokia, not cool, can't you see the hungry masses?
