New N800



Been a bit quite. I was given the nod to buy an N800 Internet tablet for christmas, and it's seemed like a long wait.
It's here now and was flashed straight away to 2008OS, and the difference over a 770 is amazing. The new OS is a big improvement in usablity over 2007, so much so thats it is hard to believe that it is only one revision.

It's now almost largely setup as I want. Key applications are of course Maemo Mapper, VNCviewer, Gnumeric, GPE Calendar, and xterm, which of course now standard with 2008.

Here's my home screen. I love the new look of 2008, especially the semi-transparent applet backgrounds.
One of the main uses for the new tablet will be as a media player replacing my aging, and heavily used Archos Gmini 400. I've been playing and evaluating the main players out there, and will report on this shortly.
