after learning of the 800, i was excited; came here to learn how to get the most from it. instead i see so many probs, im totally intimidated. i dont need another hobby. i wanted a tool. the list of probs seems huge. the price is rite and features seem better than the 810. fixes and topics all seem so fragmented, patchy, and incomplete..linux on ipod is just a novel hobby; its player cant compare w/apple player, and the things it does is still really clunky..maybe not accurate comparison. delete this if you want..i might get it for the things advertised.. hate carryin laptop for simple surfing, etc..itouch or anymore apple is outta the question

amkaos.. sorry, but imho, your post is unclear. at the end, you seemed to say you're gonna get one of the Nokia tablets anyways.. and that apple stuff is out of the question..
Its a very very simple thing.. the Nokia Tablets are a much more open platform, as such there's development efforts on it from a variety of individuals and organizations.. as with any development effort there's gonna be some quirks..
However, with the base software, you get what is advertised, a top notch portable internet surfing tool.. and very capable media player. The fact that the tablets are an open platform means there's a chance for it to improve and be more intuitive as a personal / local media player.. however, they're hands down the most flexible hardware / tool for the price point..

Although I don't like class distinctions, I will post as a junior member.
The whole problem with the wait and see what happens mentality is, anything that is powered by a microprocessor is running some kind of operating system plus software to accomplish it's task. That means that problems or improvements will take place at sometime or another and probably break something else, which will get fixed sooner or later, so if your going to wait for perfection you will never buy anything because it is always in a constant state of improvement. This applies to the iTouch and everything else out there, so you might as well jump in with both feet and enjoy the things that work very well on the N800. Another thing is, that I would rather own a device that has an open source OS than something closed like the Touch that you have ask god, (Steve Jobs) whether you can install something on it.

Follow the postings of the senior members and you'll get plenty of usage from an N800.

My friend Texrat: Don't forget you can become a senior member just for the number of posts...like my personal case
