Does it only work with Nokia's headbuds, or will any cable plugged in the 3.5 jack do? I happen to have a set of battery-powered speakers that will get rid of the low volume problem.

Now all we need is a snoozing app (there is one for the Zaurus/Archos) to be able to fall asleep on our favourite static. :cool:

Should work with any headset and possibly external speakers. The receiver just uses the wire as an antenna.

I didn't have my Nokia headbuds with me (I can't use those things so I always leave them in the box), so I plugged in a set that came with the office Sony-Ericsson phone. Seems to work fine. (Obviously I selected the N800 speakers for sound though)

Does this mean that you can't listen to the radio over the N800 speakers?

As I said, there are toolbar buttons to select whether or not the output goes to the headphones or the speakers.

So ramming the end of a wire coat-hanger into the earphone jack should have the same effect? :p

Bu seriously,with all the new software coming out this device just keeps getting better,

No. There is an option to toggle between headset and speakers.

EDIT: oops, didn't see Andrew's post.
