i never really treated the tablet as a music/movie/gaming gadget, and i never will. maybe that's why i've no interest in the touch. for me it's more of a serious productivity device. typing on my n800 has really grown on me, i can even type faster than my friend types on his eee pc
Heh. My N800 is a laptop. So it's a music and gaming gadget, as well as programming, note taking, surfing, pdf reading (but not palm reading ).

Maybe I don't take my productivity seriously enough; I'd get more done if I didn't play games, but I don't think the music hurts...

That typing though -- your friend type slow or something? I type a little faster on my 701, even though I don't use it enough to be fully adapted to it. (I'm faster on my 3245WW BT keyboard than either.) But the N800's sure not bad, IMHO. Especially when walking, or even biking. (I haven't tried either of the others while cycling, but I have done some light scripting on the N800 while on a leisurely (for me) cruise with (huffing and puffing) friends.)
