Anyone checked this out yet? Its a Texas Instruments N900

OMAP3 processor
4.1-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen LCD
HDMI out
Wifi
3G modem
16GB of storage
Full size SD card slot
large QWERTY keypad
8 megapixel camera
runs linux or android

Seems like everything the N900 should be, except...wait...its $1399, or $1150 for the wifi-only version. After I saw this article I felt really good about spending $400 on my N810, and when the REAL N900 comes out I'm sure I'll feel even better about spending whatever it costs.

And my Panasonic TV runs on Linux firmware, too. So what?
Linux is pretty much the industry standard for embedded systems these days. And the same is going to happen in the mobile world.
