When I show my n800 to people it always comes with the caveat that the device is *not* for them. The average consumer is much better off with an iTouch than this device because of the issues required to do many things with it. It is very much an enthusiast device in my opinion and installing various programs can be a hassle. Yes, I find the programs useful, but that does not mean that the device is generally usable since I come to the table with a firm linux background (one reason why I chose this device). However, I find developing in the virtual environment to be excessively painful. So the device is full of pros and cons and it will always come down to the user and the needs of the user. For the person who is seeking to pick up a device for simple net access I turn them to the iTouch since I know they will far less frustrated with it.
