Thoughtfix,
Terrific write up of both devices. Thanks for taking the time to put it together. For me, the n800 is the only choice. It's tweakability and linux-ness are very important. A lot of us are the types who like to tinker, and the n800 is a geeks dream for that. The ipod touch, like many apple products will work perfecly, but what's the fun in that?
Thanks again, keep up the great work.
