I know this will piss the fan boys off, and I'm sorry, but why do I sometimes feel my N810 is like a 2008 Ferrari powered by a 1980 Mustang motor that was souped up by the amateurish high school kid next door.

Man, the iPod Touch OS in the N810 would be dynamite.

You mind not spamming your stupid "annoy the fanboys" topics? They're pretty much just useless, inflammatory flamebait.

You're well on your way to getting yourself branded as a troll.

I'm not trying to annoy anybody. That's why I apologized in advanced. I'm just stating the way I feel. I can't do that? Today I listened to the Mac OS Ken podcast and there was a review of a really neat music application for the iPod Touch/iPhone, and I thought I'll never see anything like that on the N810. Not only that, for the last few days the auto update feature on my Diable N810 has been telling me of a new version of Canola 2. But when I try to update, I get the message that Canola 2 can't be updated because some packages are missing.

And I'm sorry, I should have left the "fanboys" part out but the reason I mentioned "fanboys" is because some people think its is heresy for anybody to say anything negative about something they like.

And of all the posts I've made, how many of them have been stupid "annoy the fanboys" topics?

In this thread? 3.

maybe the n810 is not for you. i kinda like how maemo has this raw, unfinished and "beta" feel. it leaves so much to the imagination and it is a good launching pad to linux for windows users like me.

the touch is fine, but for me it's just a show-off gadget. my n800 on the other hand is my productivity partner.

Frankly I wouldn't give up the n810 for all the iphones and itouches in China. It's in my top 3 of electronics I've ever purchased and I can't tell you how many Nokia sales I've created by letting people see what it can do.

I haven't given up on the N810 yet. But you're right. The N810 may not be for me. I chose it over the iPod Touch for mainly three reasons: 1. The slide-out keyboard (wwwhich I don't use so much), 2. Accepts external memory, 3. plays flash videos.

But as far as the state of the apps/OS, the N810 appears to be more of a hobbyist's/programmer's machine, like the Apple II was to me back in 1982. But I'm over those days now. I want something that works seamlessly and is very integrated. e.g. Conola is a great app but it doesn't fit the look & feel of the N810 OS, it takes over it and does what it wants and is completely different from any other app that runs on the N810.

Also I'm sitting here and watching all the action around the iPhone/iPod Touch. It makes me wonder if the N810 will not be a orphan device like the Commodore Amiga became not long after it's release. I mean just check out this app...

That's the sort of thing that I'd love to have on my superior (as far as hardware) N810.

then maybe you should just go fully apple? i hear they are very good at making integrated products. the latest firmware on their handhelds even drops any flash video into its own player iirc...

you've got to take into consideration that everything we get from the NIT is free. you or I don't have the right to gripe about what is freely offered to us. the better attitude would be to be happy and thankful with what we have right now, provide feedback, support any ongoing projects and contribute to the community.

i'm a student and i stuck with the touch until i can't take how i had to hack and slash to get my books and pdfs working in it. i fail at using the portrait oscreen keyboard and i find i didn't actually bring my headphones with it most of the time, defeating its purpose as an ipod.

the NIT may not be a DJ's toy (as per your posted links) but it is a developer's, student's, writer's, hiker's and artist's machine. i suggest you sell your 810 and get the ipod touch right now and get peace of mind as i had when i sold my touch for the 800
