I got an Ipod touch here in Japan due to the discount offered when I bought my macbook pro, I really liked the interface, the size and at the beginning web browsing.

At the beginning I tought about never use again my N800 and tought as well the possibility of selling it, but anyhow I took again my Nokia this week and I now I'm asking my self why I left my beloved Nokia N800 in a drawer getting dust and letting the battery drain... I'm using it again and eventhough the interface is choppy and the touchscreen behavior is a little bit different from the ipod touch, It seems that the spring has come and my Nokia N800 and I are in love again!

Well I'm gonna write here what I like and dislike from both devices.

Nokia N800

Things I like

• The screen is georgeous, its really nice to read the webpages without the need of zoom in or out.
• I like the possibilty of having different applications running at the same time
• USB OTG is a very nice feature, I don't need anymore to let plugged my computer to use bittorrent, N800 + external hardrive does the function
• I can plug microcontrolers to my N800 and develop applications
• N800 + bluetooth GPS + Maemo Mapper is a great combination
• The Wireless sensivity is amazing in places the Ipod touch cannot see any network, the N800 could see around 5 to 10 of them
• And finally and the thing I like the most, is Open Source!

Things I dislike

• The interface is choppy and gives an impression of slowness but altough Canola is closed source the Canola team is developping what I thing is the right interface for this class of devices.
• It's quite big to carry in the pocket all the time.
• It seems quite hard to develop a complete and functional application in GTK.

IPod touch

Things I like

• The interface is mindblowing, fast and responsive.
• Web browsing is limited in various ways and altough the screen resolution is not enough to read the web without zoom in, scalling is really fast and works almost perfect.
• Big hard drive built in
• For media consumption is almost the perfect device.

Things I dislike

• Wireless sensitivy is really, really bad, even being next to the access point I don't get a high signal strengh.
• Cannot plug anything to the Ipod.
• I don't like recent Apple's actions, is getting worse than all much critized Microsoft behaviour, but with a good looking appaerance...
• Cannot plug anything to the Ipod.
• It is closed source.

Thank you for reading it and keep In mind that I'm not a native english speaker, if you see some mistake that hurts your eyes, tell it to me!
