Good news about OpenOffice, already using that at work. I understand I would need a special version of it? Have any links?

To clarify the movie question: TBH I am thinking of standard res for example 650x350 @ 25fps or thereabout. Those would be movies from my own DVD's ripped for my own use (to be in agreement with the law ). I wanted to know whether there were any glitches in rendering, skipped frames, animation-like moving, or if the quality of the rendering is similar to the notebook. In other words, can I watch a movie without getting annoyed with the quality of the rendering? Asus 696 can do it, and it's weaker than the 810.

Another thing: I have learned VB, I can also learn another language to develop my own apps. What would you recommend, something with an easy to use UI to create small efficient apps with similar easy UI? What about for databases?
Remember the n810 has a processor which is almost 3 years old. Although the n810 can run word and excel.... the way it achieves it is very very clunky because of the lack of sufficient power. Even the video bit rate you mentioned may need conversion before it can be played.

On the other hand the n900 can read and edit office files via a commercial 3rd party program or way better use of open office org. Coming to video i read somewhere that the n900 can run bitrates of upto 5000kbps.

So save whatever money you can and buy the n900 when the price comes down later.
