Yeah, I've done desktop shortcuts, etc... the problem is that I'm, well... uptight :p about using greasy fingers on my "touch screen" device. I automatically pull out the stylus.

Thanks again for sending this. I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of it, even if it is broken. I've always liked taking things apart; once in a while I get them back together again too :)

Re: N810 still best for me? Best deal?
