Just got my n800 a few weeks back and have been gobbling up accessories like a mofo (uh... the Zune case I picked up at Office Depot today for $7 on clearance that is meant to hold a Zune and all of it's accessories? WAY TOO BIG! I was dazzled by the low low price. I suppose I'll find a use for it though.).

Cancelled my Asus pre-order when n800 prices dropped radically.

My Christmukkah bonus to myself is going to be a new monitor. If a 24" comes around at a decent price it's 24. If not, a 22" will do. 19" 1280x1024 just isn't cutting it any longer.

The 40GB PS3 can be picked up for £299, which is about the right price for me considering it's a games console AND a high def DVD spinner AND a media hub. With dedicated Blu-Ray players starting at £500-£600 the PS3 is a bargain! :)

I'm shopping the Eee pc or something similar for the wifey, this year. She's been using a P2 notebook running linux for a couple years, and the hardware is showing it's age, even if she doesn't really notice.

As it's coming from the States, I just hope I'll get it before Xmas.

I *just* got a PP3 and so far I'm liking it a lot. So far, I've installed OO.o2, Pidgin, Portabase, Skype (1.4) and plan on taking it with me on my next trip. I also plan on taking my N800, but from what I've seen so far, that will be what I throw in my pocket, not what I'll use to actually do my work ('ve tried doing work on the N800 for a couple trips now).

About 3 pounds and I'll be abe to carry both without much extra weight.

Well, so far some kid I don't know and I are both getting an OLPC thanks to the buy-one, get-one they are doing. 399, 200 of which is tax-deductable. http://www.laptopgiving.org/en/index.php You even get a year of Tmo hotspot. What the heck - give and get.

Probably going to get n810 (maybe depends on how impressed I am with 2008 on n800, but I *really* want keyboard and GPS ), might save & wait for next Eee with 1gig/8gig.

Just ordered the OLPC as well, and keeping my N810 preorder too.
Sorry, Asus :)

I'm keeping an eye on the neo 1973 in hopes that it will offer DUN for my 770 internet tablet connect through it. Since I still need GPS + a cell phone the openmoko looks like it'll be right up my alley to tinker with next to maemo.
