I'm generally happy with my device, but as it is marketed as an internet tablet, it's a bit appalling that device reports memory low error messages in some graphics heavy web pages, (no other apps running except browser) even with only one or two browser windows opened. This happens also with latest firmware, although upgrade was a massive improment in usability. So IMHO, it lacks memory, at least with present browser.

Titus, have you installed the latest OS upgrade? I was wondering if people are still getting out of memory errors after the upgrade.

I guess I expected Linux to be different. Maybe it will be if the lack of memory is not a hardware thing but a case of optimising the software to make better use of the existing memory.
Microsofts general answer to getting software to work faster is always to add more RAM rather than making their coding better. Hopefully the Nokia/Linux combination will take a better approach.
Regarding the PC replacement thread I am excited about just how well this thing will be able to emulate (not necessarily replace) a lot of a PC's functions. It can already do about 50% of the work that my daily PC does and I've no doubt that within 6-12 months that'll get to 100% due to the efforts of open source programmers.
Of course, due to its physical size it won't actually replace your PC for daily work but for flexible work outside of the office it will work well.
For me its a fascinating step into the future and I'm really enjoying seeing how this platform develops!
