i was about to order this tablet about an hour ago....I might just hold off now. The one thing that concerned me the entire time I read it was the linux aspect. I'm also in the I.T field, a good 25 years worth, and I am mainly a MS user. I do have experience with Linux over the years among other OS's. However, every time I get interested in a device or linux distro that is "supposed" to a wonderful bunch of things, I try it, and always end up with a bad taste in my mouth. I am just not a fan of linux, and the incredible amount of effort it takes to do the most trivial of things. And my biggest complaint, I'm sorry linux fans, but Linux is far from stable, and the more more GUI it gets, the less stable it seems.

So, my fear with the n800 was will it be stable? My original use for it was to be a mere "remote control" for audio in my HT using a web interface, so perhaps I'll still try it out. I have never been a fan of the Apple Ipods of the world, and while the ipod touch is interesting, I was hoping the more open concept of the nokia would be more useful for other things. My fear here is that its just another Linux based wanna be great at something device that only seems to consume the owners time
