EDIT: as usual, the news and the service are out of sync. I don't see any reference to Rhapsody on the N800 page...

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800

I actually posted the news on the main page a few minutes before. We must have been cross-posting. :)

Thanks Texrat.

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800

Looks like Tableteer hasn't caught up with the news either. Sure wish PR folks would get their act together...

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800

Re: Rhapsody on the Nokia N800

I would give them until the end of the day to get it up "on-time."
