Another question,

What is the main difference between internet browsing on a TX and internet browsing on the N800?
I though the Palm browser had a mobile internet page rendering while the N800 had a normal (ie like on your PC) webpage rendering. Is this true?

I thought the 8 gig SD cards didn't work on the N800?

Youtube on the N800 works for me, although it's far from smooth.

8GB SDHC cards work fine on the N800 with the SDHC kernel.

Up to 4GB SD (not SDHC) cards work fine with the stock Nokia 2.2006.51-6 kernel.

Yes. The opera browser on the N800 is essentially a desktop-class browser; IIRC new Palm OS handhelds ship with Blazer, a very stripped-down "mobile" browser. You can do things on the internet with the N800 that a Palm user wouldn't even dream of.

For example, browse these fora and write posts (as I'm doing now on my N800).

Well, the N800 Opera browser has two modes: Normal and Optimized. The "Optimized" mode is essentially the mobile version, it squeezes text into the display whatever way it is formatted and at whatever level you zoom. This works well for some sites and badly for others, so it's nice to have the option to switch.
Other than that, the main difference between browsing on the TX and the N800 is that browsing on the TX will always feel cramped, while browsing on the N800 doesn't. Even though the TX has better screen resolution than most Windows PDAs (480x320 vs 320x240), its 480 pixel wide display (in landscape mode) is only as good as the short side of the N800. Another difference is that the N800 is fully multi-tasking while the TX isn't - the TX is limited to play music in the background (and a very limited number of other things), while the N800 can download web pages while you do something else on it. For offline work the non-multitasking of PalmOS isn't missed at all, with being online on the Internet the situation is different.

The Web browsing experience is also way better on the N800 thanks to the full javascript support that Opera brings !
Transfer and rendering speed might as well be better on an N800

On the other hand the TX should have Java support.. which the N800 doesn't.
