Essentially, I want a PDA-type device.

I don't want a phone. I'm not looking for music player or video player functionality, but if that's included in the device that's most practical for me, that's fine.

I was looking at the Nokia N810 as well as the iPod touch. Does anyone have suggestions at other devices I should look into? Thanks in advance.
iPod Touch's PIM support (Calendar, TODO, Contacts and Mail) is better, in my opinion. They have a Remember the Milk Client, (but as far as I know you must be have a pro account), and they sync flawlessly with OS X.

The Nokia Internet Tablets (before the N900) have no PIM support from Nokia side. There are community applications, and while you may get them working, you'd have to spend some time configuring them.

So the question I ask you is: do you like "hacking"? Spending some time to get the most of the device? Or do you like to have things working fast and nice?

EDIT: There's a Remember The Milk client for the Tablets, developed in one of this years' Google Summer of Code projects.
