I was actually surprised there weren't other devices announced at CES comparable to the Nokia N800. The closest I believe is Cowon's Q5. Here are the specs as stated by dapreview.net:

o screen resolution of 800 x 480
o 5-inch, 16.7m touch screen
o 30GB hard drive
o Win CE 5.0-based
o supports MPEG4 (A)SP, WMV, MP3, WMA (DRM), WAV, BMP, JPEG, PNG, Ogg, FLAC, APE, AC-3
o TV-out
o FM radio + recorder
o USB-host
o internal speakers
o supports WiFi, Bluetooth and HSDPA
o small form factor

"As a result of all of this functionality, price is expected to be rather steep - some 600 USD in Korea, although it's likely that some features can be stripped off according to continental standards, possibly lowering price levels here and there."

No release date announced.

If Cowon successfully pulls this off, Nokia N800 might have some serious competition!
