These things are made by a cellphone manufacturer, remember, not some wimpy PC clone company.

I bought a used N800 in September '08. It worked great.

On one of my rides home in October, the lid of my water bottle was not securely tightened. It leaked water all the way home. When I pulled the tablet's carrying case out of the pannier, it was soaking wet.

I immediately turned off the tablet (it was still functional) and let it dry out for a few days. It works fine again, except the right speaker usually blasts out a single, full-volume tone when I enable the speakers. If I use headphones, there's no problem with the audio.

So, no, the N800s are not waterproof
