I've also gotten a dedicated mp3 player, so it's mp3 player abilities have been overshadowed.


What can I do with it to just sit it on my desk? I do sort of need a clock, for when I play something on the TV and I lose time.

Well, I COULD watch a movie or some shows while I work out...


Are there any suggestions out there?
Portable Web browser, outdone by netbook.
Mp3 player, outdone by my Sony MP3 player.
when you compare the N800 and N810 to single use devices then they will always lose, yet I still reach for mine everytime, cos the killer feature is that they are almost a laptop in your pocket.

2 ideas are....

I love the internet radio on the tablets, and the fact that I can stream radio in the garden - give it a go as it's much more portable than a netbook, and being internet connected, has broader horizons than a standalone player. get an account at last.fm, install maemoscrobbler and Vagalume, let last.fm track what you listen to and use it's recommendations to discover new artists and music.

Use Mplayer with the tablet in offline mode for the best video playback. Like this most dvd rips which will fit on a CD, will play with little or no problem on the device. If you use 16GB SDHC cards you can have a little video jukebox in your pocket.
