? How good is N810 to be used as a multimedia player?
? Some of the reviewers on Amazon.com say that if someone wants
to use N810 primarily as a multimedia player, then he/she should
look for something else. What are your experiences?
? How good is the video quality? How is the audio playback?
? I understand that video player is not as intuitive as other players
like iPod Touch. Is this a deal breaker?
There is a program called canola that works great as an intuitive media player. It plays all kinds of media including youtube. Some people don't like it because it takes an astonishing 20 seconds to load. Maybe the touch's interface is still better but there are not many devices that let you listen to an internet radio stream, browse the internet, and instant message all at the same time like internet tablet's let you do. The video and audio quality has been great for me except sometimes it's hard to skip forward in a video.

? Can you use webcam on meebo for video chat?
I am not that familiar with meebo but it looks like it's a program that includes aim, yahoo, msn and other chat services. There are 3 different programs for the internet tablet that have many chat services built in. So meebo itself he cannot use, but there are alternatives. Now the video chat is a problem. Using 2 gizmo accounts and a program called xlite installed on a pc, it's possible to video chat from the internet tablet to a pc. But that seems to be the only known way.
