I do go inside to get a coffee though
Well, the N800 wi-fi _is_ very sensitive

Also, I don't know what OS mine is running on?
Start the control panel from the settings menu, then find the 'about product' option (I'm a bit vague about the actual names because it depends on the OS version and your country settings).

I have a kind of dumb question (sorry if this is off-topic) - am I supposed to take the memory card out of my tablet before charging it?
No need to remove any cards. Plug in the charger in any situation where it's feasible (you never know when the next opportunity comes around..)

Also, can I install applications directly onto the tablet via WiFi, or should I download them to my computer and then drag and drop them to the tablet? I'm trying to figure out how to install that Pidgin program. (EDIT: I just saw Internet tablet's blog how to install applications, and I now have Pidgin.)
Yep, just install directly through wi-fi when you can, it's easier because the application manager will be able to resolve dependencies automatically and download whatever extra packages are needed.

Thanks! Mine is running OS2007. So wait, can I use the tablet while it's charging? I heard that charging a device before the battery is empty can wear out the battery.

I also found out that Open WAP connection is probably coming from the university (I live a few blocks from one).
