Yay! Got my tablet today. First thing: I updated it. Then added a 8Gb and 2Gb cards. Now have added a ton of stuff... including mplayer so I can can Watch Ren & Stimpy. (MP4 format.)

UPS will deliver my NavKit tomorrow. Seems they can just decide to reschedule a "two day delivery" and make it a 3 day delivery whenever they feel like it. <sigh>

Oh well... I've been busy playing with the N800 itself.

SUMMATION AND OPINION: Here is my summation and opinion of the N800 after using it for 6 hours from sight unseen. WOW... NICE. It is small but has a VERY VERY sharp screen. Going back to my regular 22" and 15" dual monitor setup HURTS MY EYES. And the laptop? Don't make me laugh.

I used RDP to log into my main computer. Then had the main machine use Citrix to get into my work computer. I lost all keyboard use... but I can put passwords into files and then cut and paste them as needed. Not really secure... but I can at least get logged on and see what is happening from remote sites.

I got e-mail going... setup up Skype (I already had an account.) I don't like the google or jabber IM... so I'll grab something else. But for now the Skype chat is okay.

I was impressed with the video and youtube stuff. After reading a lot of people claim that it had problems with those types of videos... I'm happily surprised that it seems to play them with no obvious problems.

When I hit play on the first video... the Nokai video on the unit itself... it stuttered and was awful. Of course I was copying a few gig worth of files to the internal SD card at the time. So we can see that the CPU is just at the border between good enough and too weak. (That's okay... I'd rather have 4-6 hours of unit use than 2-3 hours of faster unit use.)

So... just a fast review. It does everything I'd hoped it would. In addition I don't see any of the problems that some people have.

Now I get to figure out how to do things it's not supposed to do. <grin> Now I have to actually go read stuff... and gainroot etc. First task: Learn how to move things in the menu. I had a lot of stuff just put into the EXTRA menu.
