two things:

1) people debating screen technology may find this interesting: http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/N...to-156-inches/

2) my biggest issue with the N900 was that it was a phone. Even if i didnt need to use that part, it still adds to cost and so made the N900 a bit more expensive then i could handle. On that note, there was a leak about some dell plans a while back, and it showed a potential option for a non-phone streak. Fingers crossed, especially as the requirements for google android 2.1 compatibility shows phone to be optional. This unlike 1.6 where it was required.
