I am excited about the Linux based Intel MIDs, but am guessing they'd hit the market at the $750 point. It could give an N800 a run for it's money, but would have to go way above and beyond to do so.

Amen to that!!!

The N800 shouldn't die in 2 years. If it can still connect to the internet, play my games, etc, I see no reason not to keep using it. Will others buy the successors? Surely. But unless I get one free, well...

God, what a bunch of disingenuous crapola. Nice work buying into the live-like-there's-no-tomorrow oil-only status quo.

The Live Earth event has been all over the news lately. One would have to live in seclusion not to know of it.

As for the view that the artists involved should be Luddites, that's naivete at its worst. Anyone who took the time to shed their cynicism and sarcasm and objectively investigate the event would know that techniques were employed to minimize energy consumption and pollution. Artists interviewed, such as John Mayer, acknowledged the critics but made the valid point that this was an awareness campaign, and that included broadening their own.

Any campaign is going to consume resources, no matter what its goal is. And I have to wonder if you hostile critics are slamming the notion of concerts in general, which definitely consume extraordinary amounts of power, or if you're just hungrily and foolishly scavenging for hypocrisy among the folk who make you uncomfortable by tacitly pointing out your egregious lifestyle.

Something in the conservation movement hit home?

Good. Brace yourselves: it's gathering momentum.

amen Texrat.

I am sick of my fellow hob-nobbing corporate-consumer Americans pissing into their own cup.

News media blabbing on about the "only reason people buy a Prius is because it is vogue" nonsense.....

It all boils down to what each and every person is doing to reduce carbon emissions......acting locally and thinking globally.

Screw big oil pharmaceutical media conglomerate.

Screw the Bush Administration.


...........but I repeat myself.........
