Woah, that really is nice. That little input window would seem a perfect fit for the display size.

Really? I thought the proc was the same but with a 70MHz difference (330 vs. 400 MHz), but now I'm not so sure. I got my source from wikipedia so maybe the tech specs aren't up to date.

The processor on the N800 is underclocked prior to OS2008, for reasons of battery life.

Apparently in OS2008, they made enough improvements to power management that they "unlock" the full clock rate of the processor without a noticeable difference in battery life compared to previously versions.

Wow, that's news to me. At half the price this seems to give the N800 a little more bang for the buck if it operates at the same speed. But I like the latest and greatest gadgets so I will most likely end up with the N810
