Re: iphone/touch vs n800
 

Where do i get gizmo 4 for the n800, I wanna try the video call thing :) since skype doesnt want to give us that feature no time soon!

Re: iphone/touch vs n800
 

First, you need to have OS2008.

If you have that, then if you can see Gizmo project in your installable application list, it will install version 4 by default. If you can not see it in your application list, you can download the deb here:

Has anyone ever noticed that in these kinds of threads, the original poster "tosses his grenade" into the crowd, then is never heard from again? There was another thread here, something about leaving and getting an Eee...one post, then presumably he left, so the pages of replies probably were never read.

If you're gonna leave, leave. Don't bother telling those of us remaining that you're going. You most likely won't be missed, much less remembered, a week later.

It's not just this forum, I saw this all the time when I had an Amiga and frequented the Amiga newsgroups.

Anyway, my rant. Let's discuss it for the next few hours/days ;^)

Re: iphone/touch vs n800
 

Yeah, frustrating isn't it?
Have to work, can't stay here 100% of my time.

Regarding the 700 mhz, I just heard from someone. Interesting iPhone is "just" 400 mhz also, it feels way quicker when surfing. Could be the OS2008beta is slow, and the 2008final will speed up.

Screen size on iPhone is smaller yes, but it is easier to use. Just tap to zoom, or use fingers. No stylus needed anyway(!).

The touchscreen on iPhone seems more sensitive, n800 is to low sensitivity. Have tried to find somewhere to adjust this, but can't find it. Maybe the 2008final will have such a feature.

N800 and iPhone is different products. Maybe the iPhone will suit me better, even if the N800 is a better/more complicated product (umpc-light). Different people, different needs.
Time will show.
:cool:

Re: iphone/touch vs n800
 

I got that question too. I always remember 400 mhz mark from other sources for the iphone and ipod touch.

Re: iphone/touch vs n800
 

See it is all about what additional features the device can give you.

My n800 can do streaming internet shoutcast radio. Which is really a great boon. You have have 30 gigs but radio is totally different. The element of surprise and the anticipation for the next song is wonderful. And you listen to songs which you missed downloading also. And there are thousands of internet radio stations to keep you busy.

Then there is voip and im. It is a good way to keep in touch when you are using multiple clients.

Then there is gps which is cool to have and really useful when you are in the car.

I can pretty much watch any flash site. I am not restricted to mobile youtube. I can watch dailymotion and embedded youtube videos in webpages.

Then there is support for multiple video formats using mplayer. it sucks when you download a video file from the internet and you cant open it.

The fm transmitter is really nice. And then i can use A2dp and connect wirelessly and use my bluetooth headset.

All these you may say that you dont use them. But you will appreciate the use only after you use them. For example a2dp is pretty rare these days. But it is really very convenient to use. After using it for some days you will never like to go back to wired headphones. For that matter after 6 months when apple makes a2dp a default in its iphones just see people say how wonderful it is. But the same thing has been there 6 months back. And it is available now although a little spotty.

Another great thing with the tablets is the wonderful linux world. Thanks to the n800 i am learing about linux and now understand how crappy windows is.

Re: iphone/touch vs n800
 

It's just a matter of personal preference.

Some prefer the feature list and rich potential of the tablets.

Some prefer the form factor and polished user experience of the iStuff.

One is not inherently superior to the other.

Re: iphone/touch vs n800
 

Hey, I didn't get one of those. :mad:

Re: iphone/touch vs n800
 

I've compared the iPhone and the N800 side-by-side rendering the same sites, and my N800 (OS2007, no overclocked) is quicker than the iPhone.

I agree.
