So TigerDirect, through Amazon is selling the n800 for 219 dollars + 7.50 shipping. And I'm thinking about getting it for my Christmas present. I currently carry my laptop with me everywhere, but there are times I wish I had my laptop with me but I

a) couldn't carry it cause it's to big (the eeepc is still to big by my considerations..my friend has one)
b) forgot to bring it

So this is what the tablet is for. I want it for Skype (I have Skype Pro) so assuming I have a WiFi connection I can call anybody I have on Skype as well as numbers right? (especially if my cell phone gets bad reception).

For media, I'm thinking about loading it with 2x2 GB cards for a total of 4 GBs. For music, video, pictures, etc.. I currently have a 2 GB flash mp3 player, and I rarely listen to all the music on there (despite having a huge huge music collection on my hard drive). And I assume any video I put on it, after resized to the resolution of the n800 won't take up as much memory. I would definantly use Canola beta (the latest version?).

And internet, why I would want it the most. I know it comes with Opera using version 6 or 7. But can I use another browser, such as Firefox or a more later version of flash? I kinda want to block the ads (I know OS 2008 can right?).

And Pidgin of course.

Also would I have to get OS 2008 as well?

Another friend of mine does have the n800 so I have used it. He just hasn't used it to the extent I want to use it (he uses it mostly for note taking in class instead of getting a dedicated laptop). My other consideration was the iPod touch but that's to heavy on the media and light on the internet features I want.

Does anyone also know it's battery life if I decided to use it as an mp3 player for say long car trips? Many thanks!
