concerning internet radio ..yup still works...
oscp works fine..
amongst other programs to utilize it.
concerning gmail or other mail....
it has been a bit since I used it for such...
have to test it again.
Now....
I do hope gerbick wore his brown pants today...
since it appears chen's statement filled gerbick's drawers out of complete surprise.
welly well well
chen ...you wily bastard what are you up to in your Frankensteinian laboratory ? eh?
and yes...
the form factor ....
the left / right speakers...(wish they were front left / right speakers like the n800...though...)
the camera is ..adequate...(I like the turnable periscope cam on the n800...mondo cool...)
the particular keyboard ...
the screen size and real estate...
the resiistive screen...
the separate charge port and separate usb connection and separate headphone port...
the removable battery...
the easy access while running sd slot...(pity the n810 doesn't have two sd slots like the n800 though...since it allows a lot of easy alternate os implementation...)
the os and de and wm ...(which I know is a personal taste issue...but with the flexibility of the n810 and using so many options ...that is a non issue...)
Hell...
I don't know too many handhelds that can actually run real xmms ...with all the bells and whistles and virtualization eye candy...like the n8x0's (on maemo4) even....
hell...maemo versions don't have the crud android does...
perpetual cleanings...viruses...malwares...al the garbage...
sigh...just a really bad platform...
and the other big boys are no better....
out of every handheld ...anything...I have ever put into my hand...
the n810 was / is.....
hands down the all around best.
Chen....
If you are planning to make a modern revisionist n810 ...
which addresses the few short comings the original had....
do it right....
and the world will follow you
