Resampling videos from my normal settings, I avoided video latency. But it's there.

While I was working designing electronic devices I used my N770 a huge amount for reading the copious amounts of datasheets and info I needed. I was able to save my designs to PDF and keep them on there too so I could refer to them easily.

I'm now working in other fields but I still do some electronics design on the side and I have to say the screen on my 770 is the most clear and legible screen I've seen. I love the fact that I can keep the device in my pocket and whenever I have a moment I can pull it out and check up on some details.

I think the only flaw the 770 has is it's battery life, but then this might just be because of my quirky setup. I have to charge it every night or keep it powered off.

Lucky you.

I may need to specify: internet video kills every tablet I've used. Even on a very fast connection. Sometimes it's so bad I want to scream... but I've pretty much given up on it.

Local video runs very well though.

Ah, yes... That does make sense. Although, when I let a YouTube or Vimeo video (from the web, not a NIT app) cache, it runs pretty well.

I agree with Texrat. I was able to do my work on my NIT using OpenVPN. We had a lunch meeting with our CEO, but I had a couple of scripts to get written. I couldn't exactly bring my laptop to the meeting, but was able to use my tablet, through wireless, via VPN, to log in and get the scripts done in time.

I also found that the NIT made on call easier. I didn't have to lug my laptop around with me, I could find a handy free wireless site (Panera Bread, IHOP, etc) and do what I need to do.

I also carry a couple of hundred books on my tablet, not only for leisure reading, but PDFs of security docs (e.g. the NIST SP800 series), Unix and Linux documentation, etc...Both in pdb format for FBreader and pdf format.

I have the bluetooth keyboard, the other accessory I am considering is a USB ethernet adapter for my NIT, since there is no wireless at my current job, but we have DSL coming in.
