    The Nokia N800....

    It makes me cry, because I don't have one....

    Product Demo

    Wikipedia entry

    Engadget Blurb, with links to various reviews

    It's even got some improvements since release that the reviews don't take into account.

    ...le sigh....

    Well it's obviously going to shoot up in the last 10 minutes or so, by a lot. This thing retails for $400 anyways.

    I unfortunately don't have enough money to splurge for one. It makes me really, really sad. I was considering buying a Helio Ocean (a phone) later this year, but I think I may save for this thing instead. It's so good....

    The is the 2nd thread I saw on this product. Just curious, why are you guys so interested in it? What's so special about it? Is it because the OS is a Debian variant or because it's small and portable?

    Re: portability -- there seem to be quite a few products out there that are portable (though maybe not many Debian variants) -- so not sure what makes this one so special.

    Ubuntu Gutsy runs on it doesnt it? Theres lots of talk about Nokia submitting lots back to the project so have I missed something or are Nokia going to be putting Ubuntu on there as standard in future?

    I know there's another thread on it, but mine is strictly a mourning thread

    What's so good about it? Well it's a pretty nifty little device. It has lots of cool pieces of software that are out for it, and since it's Linux based, one can always feel free to build a piece of software themself! Basically, in any place that has WiFi, this tablet is king. There's so much stuff it can do; for example, it has a terminal, and you can use it to ssh to your computer. That alone opens up a world of possibilities.

    And yes, the portability helps

    Ahh. now I see. I was about to wine about no keyboard but this looks like it's got a touch screen keyboard, right? Well, does look like a cool thing.
