I bought my n800 a while back to use as a 1) a replacement for my aging zaurus as a book reader, time waster (games), and email device and 2) as a mini computer to carry about in medical school especially for rounding in the hospital.

In certainly performs well for the former but exceeded my expectations for the latter.

I love the fact that I can link up to the internet via my 3g phone, vpn into my university network, and access uptodate (a repository of useful clinical info, usually paid for by hospitals for the clinicians) information in a very readable way on the fabulous web browser (the iphone chokes on this). I then can switch over to garnet and tap into the many medical apps available on the palm platform or open a full text pdf of a clinical book. And the devie fits nicely in a lab coat pocket and replaced the ridiculous number of books I once carried.
