Nokia N800 might be a nice device, but I can't tell from the web page. Don't have the faintest idea what they are trying to do with it, but even with broadband, it took me forever to download a page where I was invited to select a language. After that many urls scrolled across the status line of my browser. If it takes that long to display the page with broadband, how long would it take with dial up?

Some people need a clue when building a web page!!!!!

Hmmm... Works fine for me ;-)

Here's a better description of the N800 and the developer program I wrote up earlier this year with some links to reviews:

I think I'll just stick with my iPhone....

Jeff Hawkins really missed the obvious this time. Maybe he should have carved a 40 dollar foldable keyboard out of wood and carried it in his pocket for a couple of weeks...

I think Palm made the right decision. I'm also glad to see the Nokia N800 recommended. Yeah, it still needs a bit of polish (and that's in the works) but it does indeed nicely fill a gap that the Folio didn't.

Too bad about the Foleo. Compared to the dullness of buying a laptop from Dell, HP, of Gateway, it is a joy to explore the variety still available in the handheld to UMPC world. How would the Foleo had succeeded in such a market would have been worth watching. Truely none of the available devices work for the great masses but there are enough success in the niches to make for some fun for smaller groups. I suspect that most of these devices will fall short to most folks. I have played with the Palms, OQOs, and most recently bought the Nokia 800. Each has its points good and bad.

My Nokia800 is my weekend companion for weekending. Find a wifi hotspot and use the wifi to check email and the news, even listen to internet radio. I bring it with me everywhere, the battery lasts through Monday, and the laptop stays home.

I would love to hear a discussion about the Nokia 800 as it compares to the new iPod Touch.
