I haven't given up on the N810 yet. But you're right. The N810 may not be for me. I chose it over the iPod Touch for mainly three reasons: 1. The slide-out keyboard (wwwhich I don't use so much), 2. Accepts external memory, 3. plays flash videos.

But as far as the state of the apps/OS, the N810 appears to be more of a hobbyist's/programmer's machine, like the Apple II was to me back in 1982. But I'm over those days now. I want something that works seamlessly and is very integrated. e.g. Conola is a great app but it doesn't fit the look & feel of the N810 OS, it takes over it and does what it wants and is completely different from any other app that runs on the N810.

Also I'm sitting here and watching all the action around the iPhone/iPod Touch. It makes me wonder if the N810 will not be a orphan device like the Commodore Amiga became not long after it's release. I mean just check out this app...

That's the sort of thing that I'd love to have on my superior (as far as hardware) N810.
