On that note, WeBot works as advertised.

As Mike says, unless you're limiting your use to around the house, you're going to need extra storage. That where I decided to forego the keyboard and GPS for 2 full sized SD slots.

However, I don't think that's the way the OP had planned to use his device, not if he was seriously considering the iPod Touch in the first place

@spartan: please explain to me how "Video playback requires more effort". I call BS on this one. If you think that having to encode and then copy the files over to the NiT is a hassle, you haven't tried converting videos for the iPod (unless you plan to get all your content from the iTunes Store, in which case, the N8x0 would be the wrong choice anyway.

Also, since you commented that the N810 is "Expensive!", ask yourself this: do you really need integrated GPS and the keyboard? Your use case was stated as:

"I am in the market for a device with multimedia and wifi web surfing capabilities. (mostly to play music, vids on the road, and to allow the family to surf the net at home after I moved our desktop to the basement)"

The N800 does this, and does this well, and if you can live with the virtual keyboard on the iPod Touch, you won't hate the one on the N800. Also, the N800 offers decent handwriting recognition, which the iPod Touch does not.

You also mention that the iPod Touch offers "foolproof multimedia software". OH REALLY? I bought one for my wife for Xmas, and I am Ipod owner myself. iTunes is decent, but wait till you have to deal with converting videos to their specific MP4 format, having to copy everything to the iTunes library and then get it to sync.

Spend a couple of minutes with the N800 and Windows Media Player 10 or later, and you'd find out that WMP10 reocgnizes the N800 as a sync-able device and you can sync your movies and music to between WMP10 and the N8x0 -- a no-brainer.

As for Podcasts, I load up my favourite podcast feeds into the RSS reader and have it update daily, download the ones I want to read. I'm not sure if there is a podcast download app that will do this automatically, so if this is a deal-breaker for you, then the iPod would be a better option.

I'll be publishing some steps on how to get NITVC, WMP10 and the N800 working in tandem closer to the end of this week once i have more time.
