Is such a thing even possible?
The 300-page hex dump of the OS may thus be entered, restoring the device from its bricked state.

n800's are overpriced as hell; anybody found any for under $200 (that arent refurbs)?

Pandoras not a competitor until they can actually make one, its hard to get excited about somthing that doesn't yet exist.
The gigabyte M528 is another story, its real and has some real good looking software running on it, the only issue is the price, more than double a n810 from the video i watched.
So likey i won't be buying one if the estimated price is accurate, but since nokia is helping the ubuntu guys with hildon i think its a safe bet our ITs can benefit from the work going into moblin.

Well, I can render anything and say that it would cost nine bucks, but it wouldn't be a real competitor to the NIT 
Lets see the release of Pandora and only then compare

The new RealPlayer for MID is the first media player on this platform that, out of the box, is enabled to decode most popular and standard media formats (RealMedia, Windows Media, MP3, MPEG4, H.264, AAC, AAC+, VC-1 and Ogg).
.....a MID will be able to handle a 1080p video
Just a shame that it has to be a proprietary solution from Real Networks
Some more details on the 20 MID manufacturers already lined up.

More information on the performance we can expect, with specific reference to the Gigabyte M528 and speculation as what this will do to Archos dominance in the niche PMP market.

Is there any point to viewing 1080p on a 800x480 screen? (I mean, even if the processor can handle all the downsampling to make it play, the result will probably look worse than a more modest video that actually fits the width of the screen).

And do they have a delivery time frame and MSRP yet?
(just curious)
Late spring.
