I would say if you are looking for the desktop version of the web interface, then NO.
If you are looking for the mobile it might work fine. But unless the company ports the software, it is not even compatible with the ITs chip.
Just on my desktop the interface took my IE session from 15M to 75M that is some big FLASH, that would kill all current tablets.

too bad the tablet stumbles again.

Um... No. Attempts at creating an OS in Flash stumble again.

Java is really much more suitable, IMHO, but the attempts in that direction tend to be much less practically-aimed and more geeky...

your link was to the desktop software, which you'd want to load on your desktop computer. For your mobile tablet, you'd want to use the mobile web site. I think it's pretty clear.

Saying "the tablet stumbles again" concerning software for a desktop OS (which has just about zero use in a mobile application) is a bit dramatic. But that's just me.

I was just playing with this it isn't to bad. Might even be kinda useful.

Re: Glide OS
 
so I misunderstood.
I can run the mobile version on my NIT and have it sync automagically with the desktop one running at home?
Does this then provide a working PIM for my n800?

Re: Glide OS
 
It would provite a working PIM as long as you have internet access. Google would also do the same.
