So exactly what is this difference that you hear? And how do you know it isn't something to do with the impedance or power match to your specific headphones? I have some very nice Sennheiser and Yamaha headphones, and I don't detect any differences in audio quality between the iPod and the N800 which aren't attributable to the source recording.

... with the introduction of MicroB and its better support of javascript, there is problem sites that look for mouse downs and what happens when you try to drag is that the javascript intercepts it and you can no longer drag scroll.
Oh, that problem - yes, I do run into that. I really preferred the Opera-based browser in OS2007 - I personally thought it was faster and more responsive, and the scrolling certainly worked better because of this issue. But I've compared the N800 side-by-side with the iPod Touch loading the same web sites, and I have to say that the N800 is faster and the rendering looks better at first glance on the larger screen. Although scrolling and zooming is definitely quicker and more intuitive on the iPod.
