Ok, this is an absurd thread title. However, here's my situation....

For years I have been falling asleep by browsing the internet with my Dell Axim X5 (with CF wifi card). The internet experience on this thing is absurd, but it is better than nothing. I can access my gmail, gcal, gdocuments, espn, and some other mobile-friendly sites. However, the rest of the web is off limits.

Anyway, as soon as the iPhone came out, I told myself that if Apple releases a phone-less version of this device, I will get one. Of course, now the n800's price is coming down, and it's available at $230 vs. the touch's $300.

Here are some questions:
1) I need the brightness to be turned down as much as possible, so I don't wake the wife - or blind myself in the total darkness. Anyone know how the iPod Touch compares with the n800 concerning brightness adjustments?

2) What device renders flash-free web sites faster: n800 or iPod Touch?

3) What is the overall browsing experience like on both devices? Is there a winner? I mean, is zooming required on every site on both devices? If so, does the Touch's zoom functionality beat the n800's?

Thanks.
