have some computer smarts, but sometimes I’m baffled by the Nokia Internet Tablet.
Why is Linux made so hard?
Which leads me to my next question:
Might as well ask the real puzzler here:
Why can’t OS2008 et al just let you be root when you need to?
If us unsophisticates need so much protection against our careless actions, shouldn’t we be wearing goalie gloves when we handle scissors? Why isn’t there just a switch that says, “It’s OK. I’ll take the consequences. Just please let me make a directory or use apt-get without having to acquire developer-class knowledge.”
Why can’t the application memory be extended to one of the memory cards?
Yeah, there are more things I don’t understand about my tablet’s design. Just getting the answers to Why not a model with a keyboard?
and How can you call it an internet tablet without handling Flash and YouTube?

- Why can't I easily add fonts to my tablet and use them in the browser?
- Why does upgrading the OS obliterate every manually installed app I've put on my tablet?
- Why can't the application memory be extended to one of the memory cards?

Is swap the extent of this? You know, I'm willing to risk the possibility that my flash card will get the same spot written to 100,000 times and fail.

>> Just getting the answers to Why not a model with a keyboard? and How can you call it an internet tablet without handling Flash and YouTube? have really lowered my orneriness.
The 810 has a keyboard.
Because they are one very small part of the internet that don't matter to a lot of people?
Just the 'Why didn't they make an operating system designed to run a small keyboardless portable device with limited memory and smallish screen?'

Pretty much all you said has been said before. It is the frustrating part of the N800 tablets. We love the hardware, we aren't interested in the "other" devices out there because they don't measure up on some level, BUT
But the software side of the N800 is still SO WEAK. I'm guessing a lot of the development efforts end up going into the subsystem (hildon-gtk, microb, etc.) rather than in the polish and usability.
It is not hard to come up with simple and obvious UI fixes for almost everything on the tablets. Hopefully there is time for Nokia to get these things done before something else comes along that can draw us away.
