Most of the bad reviews fail to factor in proper context and perspective. Does the 770 perform poorly compared to a quad CPU desktop computer? Certainly. Is it better than the typical web-enabled cell phone? Definitely.

Happiness with these tablets tends to be very subjective too. The saying "your mileage may vary" has never been more appropriate than when applied to the product of a new paradigm.

Yes, you can use http://www.tversity.com/home to do this.

Would this replace my computer for internet browsing? Thanks.
Replace no, supplement yes. If you are in places where you don't have access to your computer then the 770 is more the capable as serving as a internet browsing replacement.

I think the 770 is a great little device- but no so much right out of the box unfortunately (which is by far it's biggest problem IMO). If there were simple ways to get the newest firmware and software on there, disable this and that, enable faster card reads etc- then it's reviews would have been more positive.

And that's where context and perspective come in. Both were sorely lacking from many reviews that wanted to compare something really meant for savvy, early adopters with something like a toaster.

On this link the 770 seems to be a poor mans iphone (i consider this as a compliment!)

So do you think I should go for the 770 instead of the N800? Is the browser quicker and better than the PSPs? Thanks for all tof the help.

I don't own the 800 but I'd liken the 770 as 77% of the stuff at 33% of the cost.
