Well, short of making a periscope, you N810 chaps are outta luck there; let's hope a saner design makes it into the N900.

As for tabbed browsing; AFAIK it's as good as identical in memory usage. The great thing about it on a desktop: Windows has historically been awkward WRT handling a great many windows in the taskbar. Not so bad on XP or Vista with a 2-3 line taskbar (or grouping, if that's your thing), but IIRC you couldn't do that (or maybe it somehow became annoying) back on 2k. Most other desktops aren't really a problem; on the tablet for sure, you've got grouping already, and it's in easy reach through the menus, as well. Also, on a desktop, you give up comparatively little room for a tab-bar; on the N800, even if it was a hassle to access multiple windows, I still don't think I'd want tabs...

I was looking for some SIP client or Skype or similar... And some sort of document viewers, just to give couple examples.

Most others (90% or more) are toy apps such as "virtual cat" or something like that. :rolleyes:

They do have a document viewer. Though it can only read .docs and .xls right now (as far as I remember). As for SIP clients I think only the jailbroken ones have that for now.

They also have as many as 4 (FOUR!) flashlight applications right on the first day of the launch of the App Store!

how come we don't even have a WHITE html page somewhere on the web after so many years ???

You can use the browser's home page. :D

There's text on it.
I should configure it with no page at all .. but, alas, none of your solutions will turn the brightness fully on and keep it on :p

Aside from typical apps... are there any mediaplayer that can play "all" video formats (Xvid/Divx/mpeg...) without conversion?

Is there Flash support coming finally?
