I don't go anywhere with out it. My work place has wifi anywhere on site so I even take it there. Nothing like checking your email at a Nuclear Plant.

I guess I'm in the minority. I almost never have the N800 on me, but then I almost always have access to several computers. I did take it on my recent trip to Italy, and it helped out a lot when I needed to make some skype calls.

What's the point, as it takes longer to input one line in the N800 than to cook an entire meal?

I was thinking of how doomed we are now that Maemo has growned one, making her impossible to please... and that the majority of developers probably spend more time on their computer than, uh..

N800 goes everywhere. The 3 main items in my Urban Survival kit are: N800, Cell Phone (Nokia 6103) and wallet. Can't leave home without them.

I truly accepted I was a NIT junkie the first time I found myself checking my Google Reader in the "reading room".

That and when I started factoring in whether or not a place has free Wi-Fi as a serious consideration when choosing where to go out with my Significant Other (I mean my Wife, not my N800) .

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. What to do?

I completely misread that line.

I pretty much take the N800 anywhere except the shower. I did actually try playing music in the shower by putting it in a ziplock bag, but the stress factor of wondering about leaks outweighed the relaxation of Steve Hillage.

I take at least one of my tablets pretty much everywhere, and a smart phone just wouldn't cut it (I already have one that's used as a modem ). The screen just cannot be beat. I have had to use a tablet for directions, movie listings, product price comparisons, product info, sales info, store and restaurant addresses, etc while on the road. That's why every time I see someone spout off that the tablets are "useless" I just have to

I think that just may be isolated to you, Karel. Personally I can tap like a maniac on the things.

I enjoy my Canola+Youtube or Hillage and/or Ozric Tentacles in the bathtub. Ziplock all the way. The stressfactor isn't so huge with a used N800 instead of a brand new N810 or some other brand new expensive machine...

Ha, true I actually downloaded a web page of a recipe last thanksgiving and brought it to the grocery store.

I actually mean, without the need for a shopping list, why is it with me in my pocket? Because I love it too much to leave it behind!

I'll double-bag it next time then cybe.

Texrat, I'm pretty much with you there. I don't have the 810, but my 800 has a folder on it called "recipes", which contains c&ps from many recipe sites. I keep meaning to drop it into a sqlite form and pop up a little front-end for it, but to be honest the text files work just fine.

One of the things I really like about the iT's is their small, yet robust, form factor. The thing is as at home bombing about your local M&S picking up the ingredients for your Thai green Curry as it is on a windswept reservoir while you track down that geocache in the long grass. It can tell you the weather (and I don't mean that if you see drops on the screen then it's raining! ) and check your e-mail, it can be used for video-conferencing or as a speaker phone while you are in the wiring closet tracing a fault, and it can replace a whole box ful of old magazines in the 'reading room'. In short there aren't many applications where having that kind of connectivity and computing power in the palm of your hand doesn't add value - you do realise there is an on-line version of the kamasutra available, don't you? .

I realise that a lot of that functionality isn't limited to iT's in particular but, PIM functionality notwithstanding, nothing does quite so much, quite so well.
