Gee, things the N800 can do the current iPhone CANNOT:

VoIP
Skype
ScummVM, Star Control II, FreeCiv, and Wesnoth (my favs)
Not one but TWO browsers (so far...)
Flash 9 support (you know, for the "real internet")
16 GB of REMOVABLE storage space (32GB coming soon with 16GB SDHC cards coming down the pipe)
dual-booting into alternate operating systems
Actual video chat/calling
Use 3G via tethering to a 3G-enabled phone
Removable, user-replaceable battery
standard mini-USB port for data transfer

Honestly, this guy had a deadline he was late on and he did the bare minimum of research.
Had that ***** done a modicum of research he would have found ITT, the Maemo garage/planet, and been able to write a longer, more detailed article on it.
Don't they teach basic research skills and logic in universities anymore?
I guess he was passed out drunk in his dorm room that day.
