You mean you bought a toy just to have a toy! Scandalous... Hehehe...

I have a bin at home my wife calls the "Island of unwanted toys" that serves as the landing ground for once-was-cool technology prior to a second life with some random ebay-buyer. Ironically, since doing the PC-to-Linux-to-MacOS "long switch" over the past ~8 years, I'm finding that in my MacBook Pro induced bliss I'm pretty happy with just the MBP, my iPod 5G, and my Treo 700p.

Haven't drank the iTouchPhone koolaid yet, tho... too many hobbling issues for my tastes. And as a phone++, my Treo really is a perfect fit, but a horrible... HORRIBLE web browsing device (even with the Opera crash-box upgrade).

So that's my primary motivation for the n810... a light way, wifi/bt-bridgeable, FF-based browsing device that I can use as a rich-client to my home media server (Mac Mini w/ Twonky UPnP MediaServer) and blog on. The GPS is a superflous extra, but it may motivate me to make a Google Maps richclient for the thing.

Cool... where's that PM? 8^)

cheers,
Etienne
