After owning an n800 for about 90 days, and being an avid reader of the posts on this forum, I feel compelled to write about the shortcomings of this tablet.

I get that the tablet is extremely customizable, with its open Maemo allowing developer to come up with some really fancy applications (I especially like the work on Kagu). However, all of these fancy apps cannot hide the fact that the reason why the devs (which are some of you, the users) are working so hard to program these apps, is because the n800 did not come with the apps in the first place.

The n800 browser is extremely slow, which I attribute to its slow processor. Its extremely painful to watch load times of a frequently surfed page, akin to the speed of a pentium 2 on a modem

Dont get me started on the useless webcam. I doubt having a video conference with a bunch of guys on this forum is that appealing to n800 users.

It can't even play youtube properly, without UKMP or orb.

So like all of the people here, we'll have to wait for further updates to the OS or better programs to reduce (not eliminate) this underperforming toy.

Until then, I'll probably be stuck with this annoyances for a while as there aren't many competitors for the pocketable tablet market.

And so will all of you...
