I've been trying to get a SmartQ V7 for a while to review it, but the company completely and totally ignores me.

Thank you for this HUGE note, qkall. I was seriously looking at the v5 as a replacement for my N800 and the HDMI output was really getting my attention ... but was assuming that meant desktop PC type output. Thanks for saving me from a big mistake (although the v5 still looks like a good possibility ... just not the shoe-in I thought it was)

interesting device. My main thing I don't like about the n900 is the screen size. I feel I am constantly squinting.

Then again with the 7" display I'd want 1024 x 600 resolution.

But then why not get an ASUS eee pc T91 for a couple hundred more and use joiku for internet access?

I've been looking into it and apparently desktop through hdmi is due in a future update.

So I'm going to hold off buying one of these until this materialises... Will be uber once it does!

Yeah I know Computex is this week and there will be a gazillion tegra 2 tablets coming out...

However, these are now being sold with Android 2.1, and I found one for £140 Plus there's going to be upstream kernel support for these devices, so they've got a promising future.

One is on its way now, I'll let you guys know how it goes. I'm hoping it will be a brilliant companion for the n900

I carried a spiral notebook throughout high school and college and on the bus every day and it didn't fit in my pocket. I didn't feel deprived and thought it was normal.
