Ari was apparently very aware of the audio shortcomings of earlier tablets and wanted to address them in the N900. Thus, the high-quality TI headphone amplifier. I doubt there will be any noticeable noise.

Re: Request: Tehchnical information of audio out and screen
 
I would like to receive clarifications to the aspect ratio of the N900. It has been mentioned several time that it has an aspect ratio of 16:9, but with the resolution of 800 x 480 equals to an aspect ratio of 1.67:1 and not the usual 1.78:1 (or 16:9). I believe that WVGA usually refers to 854 x 480 which has the correct 16:9 aspect ratio. But I could be wrong. ;)

Then again, the pixels might not be perfectly square or the spacing between the pixels might be slightly larger horizontally compared to vertical spacing. :)

Of course this is not very important at all, but I would like to know anyway. Obviously I could simply measure it from a picture of N900, but I'm much too lazy for that... :D

from my desktop computer knowledge, if they say; "up to 16M colours" then the screen is 6bit with dithering, whereas the statement; "provides 16.7M colours" indicates a true 8bit per colour channel screen.

Same as every other tablet, 15:9.

Thanks :)

So it means for 16:9 videos there will be small borders on top and bottom... Or maybe with a little zooming one could get rid of those.

If only there was some kind of software which made that straight forward ;-)

I have a question for those who have tested the N900:
What is the sound quality with in-ear headphones with an impedance of 16ohm?
