Linux isn't all that difficult to get running on the 5mx; its screen res is 640x240, so that's not half bad either; colour is out, obviously, and the screen quality of the 5mx is abysmal (you need really good light to see anything at all); there's no WiFi, but Bluetooth might be possible (http://www.roalan.com/Bluetooth%20Wi...0Converter.htm) cludgy, but possible; and as to high power, well the 5mx runs for weeks on 2 AAs and its native programs are optimized enough to let you forget it has only a 33 MHz engine trundling along.

Still, I don't think it can do even a fraction of what the N800 can, multimedia-wise and the 5mx's internet experience would probably be colonoscopically painful.

I'm so definitely buying an Eee when it comes out! It's cute...
