Will the N800 bring a new gaming experience? Or just improve on the games already available?

Interesting question. Come to think of it, there must be another reason why Nokia decided to add another memory card slot. How feasible would it be to run the N-gage games on the N800? Can the hardware support it?

N-gage? Maybe via software emulation...

I'd like to see more games on the platform, especially those that take advantage of bluetooth and the internet. Cooperative and competitive stuff.

But my suspicion regarding that new external SD slot lies more along music and video...

Somehow I doubt they meant it for gaming with the pad being so poorly constructed.

NES emu works on the 770. However the GBA emu is just to slow and is almost unplayable. Is the N800 hardware able to handle the GBA emu? Having the GBA emu work with vitual buttons would great.

I can see some camera based navigation in games being tested in the future...

N-Gage is symbian-based. It's as similar to Linux as... well, as two extremely dissimilar things. AFAIK there is no Symbian emulator for Linux and nobody's managed to make Nokia's Windows-based Symbian emulator run in Wine or any other beverage in Linux.

You mean kinda eye-toy like stuff? Dude, let's face it, most people aren't exactly magazine cover type. Knowing that, I prefer playing w/o the camera.

I think the dual memory card slot was for a different reason: They want the N800 to be your gateway to the internet, but a single SD card slot would be "always installed" and hold swap memory too. That one was added next to the battery. The external memory card slot is more to take pictures from your camera and upload them. At least - that's my perception.
