Meh, Mobile, WinCE. Same dog, different spots. It's still Windows and it's still produced by Microsoft. Bah. And here I was hoping that Samsung would actually do something intelligent. :rolls eyes:

From other search results it definitely seems to be destined to be a WinMo infected device, probably Mobile 6.5 rather than 6.1.

Hey, anything is an improvement over WinCE/Mobile. Even Symbian. Although Symbian is now open source, so Maemo's gonna have some competition here really soon.

Well, having owned a PDA with CE for 5 years and an n810 for 1 year, I'm ready to go back to CE any time.
At least there's software on CE that works and does what you need, I'm really fed up with 1000 half-baked crap opensource apps that only do 10% of what you need.
And this remark is coming from an open-source contributor... so guess how disappointed I am in what the n810 has to offer.
One word of advice for the people who posted that CE is crap: get a device and use it for a year. It may not be hackable or cool, but it is a tool that simply works and gets the job done. My 5 year old PDA still works perfectly and is for some tasks even faster than the n810 - go figure.
