i've never used a device that u could install programs without downloading them somehow, either from the internet, from an external media (sd card, dvd, cd, ex. HD, flash drive, etc). please oouc, tell me where i can find such a device that can basically make magic...

This is also the first time i've ever seen someone buy something and refuse to spend even the smallest amount of time to figure something out. even my brother who is pretty lazy and i have to do everything for him...can figure out stuff. especially when there are websites and forums and users out there helping people, developing solutions and software...the community for the NITs is very helpful. Just because maybe pre-schoolers might not be able to follow the instructions doesn't mean it's hard to figure out...just use some common sense. but i guess as people say, common sense isn't really common

I have no knowledge of linux (literally, a fresh newbie), yet i've managed to update my tablet, download and install applications, use the web browser, fm radio, etc. now given, i don't understand all the technical talk, i can still use the n800 as it is...an internet tablet. It's great that it has extra features such as xournal and liqbase...but it was never intended to be a full out linux computer. it's an internet tablet. Having an office suite, or sketching programs is a plus..not a given. what you're saying is "hey i just bought a smartphone that has wifi! now i can save money by not buying a data plan but can still go online at hotspots! wait just a minute...i can't send and receive email unless i'm in wifi range which is like never. what kind of crap is this. i thought its supposed to be a pocketable computer..."
