The idea here is that you can have the same high quality content for multiple devices. The N800 does not allow for that, nor is it capable of doing so :-(
A 640x352 h.264 rip looks almost as good as a DVD on a TV screen. So this very same rip will play on your iPod and your PS3/Xbox360 on the HDTV and look great. I don't know about you, but not having to transcode twice is very valuable to me. Not to mention worrying about two libraries and wasted storage.
The same video and audio library syncs to my iPhone and streams to my PS3.
I won't get into Rhapsody vs. iTunes, it's very subjective. Some people like to rent music, some people like to buy music.
While it may not bug some of you, tearing is all over the place. Its really ugly. You can't scroll web pages quickly or flip through your albums without it tearing. Its unfortunate that they had to go with the Epson LCD controller, they really should have worked out these problems before release.
I also believe that modest is great, and I'm glad that after THREE years of Internet Tablet development they have a good workable email client. Well, whenever its done... Hopefully before OS2009.
As far as DRM goes... its definitely on its way out, and there is nothing wrong with having support for the #2 music retailer in the world. That said, the ability to rent movies is awesome and something you cannot do on the tablet.
