Hi, Perhaps. I've not yet tried an N800, but it sounds like you are the target user. Gmail works on the 770, I've not tried Homepage. Reader didn't on the 770 (IIRC), however the N800's got a later version of Opera so it may well. There is also a built-in RSS reader which can auto-refresh in the background on the N800. Not sure. Using Gaim or an additional Jabber transport, yes. YouTube apparently works on the N800, but is choppy as you say. The videos are viewable at full rate using my VidConvert service. Bluetooth keyboards (supporting the HID profile) are supported out-of-the-box on the N800, a third party applet is required to provide a pretty GUI on the 770. DivX is supported out-of-the-box on the built-in player, however there is also mplayer. The capabilities of the N800 haven't been fully explored, but for the 770 you usually needed to transcode videos either by script, GUI or manually. Adding and removing other software is trivial using the built-in Application Manager. Third party software can be seen in the OS 2006 application catalogue and the preview of the new system. HTH, Andrew
