If you have a lot of movies then it is better to have the n800. The way memory card prices are falling 32 gb will be pretty cheap.

And coming to movies and videos. Mplayer can play almost many formats like divx, xvid, avi, flv etc. But right now mp4 files do not play well. But there is always nokia video converter.

Streaming can be done with mplayer although it depends on the bitrate of your streams. Higher bitrates dont work but lower bitrates do work.

Coming to Audio nothing can beat the n800. Thousands of internet radio stations for free, fm radio, and rhapsody. The iphone has none of them.

Coming to computing needs. The iphone is hardly any computer at any stretch of your imagination. Wheras the n800 can be a complete computer replacement with usb otg, web cam for video.

Some additional features are the stand which is a great innovation. It really helps for a wonderful viewing which is very much underestimated.

Now with the canola coming out the n800 which was lagging in media playback comes right up to iphone. SO there is really nothing the iphone can do the n800 cant do. But the inverse is nowhere near!!

You may think that sdk release for the iphone will solve this. But remember for every app you are paying money!!.
As far as i remember apple charged something lke 20$ to pair your touch with a gps reciever. That is really unbelievab le. This is a clear indication for things to come.

And bluetooth on the apple is so severely crippled. No a2dp and not even file transfer. How in the world is that the most innovative device?

Beats me. i dont know when will americans wake up to the reality of the mobile world which the eurpeans and the asians are far far ahead.
