Thanks, Robert - that does help. It pretty well confirms what I'd suspected, which is that while Maemo on the Nxxx has a lot of potential, it's not quite realized just yet. I was a little surprised to read that the Nxxx tablets are not meant to be PIMs - maybe that's not their main intended use, but is there anything in their design (or in the design of Maemo) that precludes this functionality, if someone develops the software?

My requirements are actually pretty easy, since the only "application" I really depend on heavily on the Palm is the memos, believe it or not. I have hundreds of them, storing pretty much anything I've thought I might want to recall at a later date. I'd guess the built-in capabilities can handle that okay. Everything else is for fun, so in a sense it's all icing - but the more, the better, of course.

I'll have to check out the N810 whenever I can - I'm pretty much neutral on a hard keyboard, and GPS is slick, but not necessary. Meanwhile, I'll check out the N800 again.
