Dude, that was funny. I'm still laughing. I can picture the first time I wandered in to one. I remember wondering, "why is this exhibit separated from all the others?" It was a "c" shaped enclosure with no windows on the outside. But enough about the internet...
I think this could help if anyone is feeling a little frustrated with their n810. Granted, it's not software, but it's really cool. Don't even wrap it; actually use it as a stocking when you're giving an n810 to that special someone.
Yeah, they served up a meatball and those commentators whiffed. But I will not turn in my card; its posts like this that give engadget Monty Python status in my book. "And now for something completely different." Which is my suggestion for all you kiddies out there when your frustrated with your n810.
I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, but I think this clip is funnier than the Philosopher's World Cup. Skip to 1:45.
Clearly when you have expectations that exceed reality you will be disapointed. I find the N810 an excellent device. Perhaps that's because before I purchased it I thought about what I'd want from it and researched the product here and elsewhere. Like most devices it has what I'd call from my perspective, flaws -- internal GPS for example. If that makes me one of TokyoDan's idiots, so be it.
and as a user of a similar product, im not sure if your last post is a joke or serious...
Well, I carry a bag (just to my car), so that would be slightly hypocritical if I were joking about the item. And I certainly know very little about marketing, but that picture is funny. Though maybe not as funny or cool as this useful product.
You all still don't get it! I not trying to gain support for my position. I don't have a position. The only thing I have is the fact that the N810 is a great first rate device with second (or third) rate 3rd party software. And that fact bothers me. Actually I'm thinking of selling it to some other "open-source type" here in Tokyo and buy an iPod Touch. (But then I couldn't study Python on my little device. Hmmm.)
Ah... after only 16 posts in your thread, you've hit upon the number one tactic in gaining support for your position; start personally berating those that endeavor to participate in your conversation.
I shall endeavor to remember your screen name, lest I accidentally help you or provide an answer you seek, only to be insulted in return.
