Agreed. If you need more, get a device designed to do more.
I'm able to do an incredible amount of stuff with my N810. With no previous mobile device the N810 has paved the way for me in terms of portability and power. I can remote desktop into my servers and admin everything, do Skype calls, figure out where I am in the world thanks to Maemo Mapper, take notes in Xournal, view PDFs, MSN, AIM, IRC, record audio/video, wardrive, I can even grab emails and their images under Modest without any fuss. The only complaint I have with the device is that it has such little ram and it has no hardware acceleration. These two things cause compatibility issues with stuff that I want to do but the N900 would not be the fix for that. I suspect I would have the same trouble with the N8. Seeing as how I run into another issue that is the OMAP processor, I should probably abandon this platform. There aren't many packages that are compatible with these devices. I treat my N810 as though it were a full computer but it's not.
I'll probably go to a full x86/x64 tablet later this Fall. Something old and cheap.
