Sascha Segan has
reviewed the n800
on the PC Magazine Website. I have conversed with Sascha before and he asks that when people direct people to his articles it benefits them to put a few paragraphs and then put up a link so the rest of the story is read on the website. That way his bosses can see his draw to their readership. I respect that request which is why I haven't just posted the whole article. (Something that should be remebered by all when posting links to other reviews etc. )So here ya go:
NOKIA N800 Internet Tablet
By Sascha Segan
Right now, Nokia's N800 is an awesome geek toy. With the right software, though, it could become the next generation of PDA, combining a fully Internet-enabled, handheld communicator with an OS that makes it easy for developers to port over existing desktop applications.
The N800 is more or less an upgrade to Nokia's 770, a Linux-based "Internet tablet" that was essentially a proof-of-concept product to get Linux geeks excited about programming for handheld devices. It worked. The "Maemo project" for porting libraries over to mobile devices, which started with the 770, has helped the entire open-source mobile world, inspiring and aiding initiatives such as Trolltech's Greenphone and the OpenMoko Neo1973.
