I needed a hex editor today, so I just used ghex from Ubuntu Jaunty (using my Easy Mer image). Worked just fine.

I would say that there's plenty of apps for the tablets.

If the question is, "Should I get the iPhone 3G or the N810," then the question isn't worth answering here, since it has been asked dozens of times here and the answers could fill a fat book.

If the question is, "Should I get an iPhone 3GS or an N810," then the answer is, "Do you want to spend more for a fast-but-closed current-generation device, or spend less on an old-but-open two-year-old device?"

If the question is, "Should I get a iPhone 3GS now or wait for the N900," then the answer is, "Depends on how impatient you are."

I'm looking forward to that "very close to desktop performance" sherifnix wrote about, except on a Linux handheld.
