audiobooks, for example, or using the spreadsheet. I have been embarrassed
to discover that the Internet connection was down and I was so absorbed in my
N800 that I hadn't missed the net.
In the context of the orignal discussion (and for brevity's sake) as to what the N800 was/wasn't intended for, I failed to mention the offline functions which I use a good deal of the time on my IT as well. I'm a podcast freak and in addition to my Fedora box I also own a Macbook and have discovered an incredible (and free!) app for Mac OS X called SyncTunes that syncs my podcast playlist with the N800 beautifully. I use my iPod so little now I'm actually considering selling it.
