My N810's battery entirely died about a month before the N900 was announced. While the battery was dead, I started thinking... do I really need an IT? Can't my phone do it after all, now?
And, truthfully, it could do most of it. If I hacked around on it, it could do even more, but... I loved my tablet, so I bought a new battery for it and started to fall in love all over again. I'd stopped using it for ebooks because of the Kindle, and I'd stopped using it for music after I bought a bluetooth earpiece, and using it for the mobile web, well, that was the first thing to go (it usually takes me 30 seconds to that plus a minute to get it to successfully work with my phone
)... but Mplayer was still gorgeous, and I could make it into a second screen for my netbook, and hacking around on it was just so much fun. And it worked with just about every piece of desktop software I had, too. (My desktop is Linux.
Then the N900 was announced. Gah! My poor, recently returned to me friend is going to be replaced?
I was falling in love with it all over again, and then a new, younger tablet, with always-on internet and USB charging came in... and even though I held off at first, now I have an amazon preorder I keep thinking of cancelling.
I rambled a bit longer than I thought I would <_< I guess I mean to say, I know the feeling... it's nice to see there are other people as weird as me.
On a related note, does anyone else always want to find a "good home" for their used electronics more than they want to sell them for the most value?
