These devices are not even the same ballpark.
No Bluetooth just wifi.
I love apple takes other people stuff and puts there name on it. Come on they took nokia device and made part of it better. PART...
Why would I want a device with internal only men? How many ipods break. Everyone I know who had an ipod had to by a new one less then one year becuase they always break.
Thats a fact too. 10 people I know all had to replace there ipods in some way by design. Batteries fail and cost you 60$+ to get a new one. N800 battery 4$ on ebay brand new.
.
I've replaced my battery, myself for far less than $60. Now the whole "send the product to Apple because the battery is soldered to the motherboard is a BAD MOVE on Apple's part. And a $4 new Nokia battery? It's not stolen?

I find it hard though to believe inspite of the unix based OS on Apple prods, that it also does not support multitasking. Is that really true again ?

Well lets be realistic. It just has a max of 400mhz. And i can open two browser windows, check the rss feeds, keep contact through im and listen to internet radio. I think that is good enough for me. And even though i dont see any other device in the same league which can do half of all these. If so show me one with the same battery, mobility and screen size. WHen there are none how do you expect this to do everything by the nokia?
Well if you really dont want to multi-task you made a mistake buying the internet tablets. It is a mini computer not a standalone pmp.

I just wanted to say thanks for the review, and that everyone saying they are in different categories and shouldn't be compared, I actually found out about the internet tablets while searching for the lowest priced Ipod touch, in my opinion these things have actually helped the tablet with these posts

I have to concur here. Yesterday due to work I "had" to use my N800 to play tunes. So I used xmms (which has it's own problems which would require another post altogether) to play some mp3's I have. Every now and then the music would stop. I finally figured out that it was refreshing the RSS feeds. Then I made the mistake of checking my blog stats. Stutter city. I even think the music slowed down. The processor spiked and then the battery was done.
But for me, before I go to sleep, I always have Canola in the backgroud playing my mp3's, while I open 2 browser windows - checking out my facebook page, and other news sites on it, as well as refreshing my Omweather applet to have the latest weather forecast for the next day ready, and am also downloading the new podcasts for the day on Canola as Canola plays my mp3's during this whole session.
Seems quite a lot of tasks, but again as long as you keep it within the contrains of the processor and memory availability, its all good. The fact that it supports multi-tasking is the factor here. Of course there will be a limit to multi-tasking practicallity on a small 400MHz device.
Then again, if I started A2DP hack to on, and try listening to music over BT, then crash, bang, burn - everything comes to a standstill. But that is a documented fact of the A2DP hack.
Yes, the built-in RSS reader is also very memory and CUP cycle intensive, so much so that I do not user it. Rather I open my Google reader page.
Again as I said, to each user thier own vagaries of IT usage.
