I like that marcrobert-- you just jumped from the N800 to a full-fledged laptop.

Different form factors for different uses and expectations. The N800 works for some of us, regardless of any zooming or wifi issues, but there are always qualifiers. I'm just glad I don't have to rely on my little cell phone screen or lug a laptop to check movie listings when I'm on the road. N800 works just fine for me.
