Yes on something that will read stuff to me! Linux has Festival, which unfortunately sucks compared to what Windows has for the same thing, but it is better than nothing.

My dream for the future is a tablet that I can talk to so I don't have to handwrite at all -- something with Dragon NaturallySpeaking accuracy!

We also need an app like Kdissert (a linux app that does memory mapping -- aka, helps make and take notes) or VYM, which does the same, or Brainstorm in Windows that does something similar.

The chess app isn't very good because it doesn't let you play both sides of the game, which is what you would want to do for chess study.

It would sure be nice if someone would sell a decent camera to make part of the N800 as a replacement for what we have.
