Rich Hoeg, eContent, purchased himself the Nokia N800. The N800 is a linux based handheld Internet tablet with functions similar to those of Apple's iTouch. I'm not sure either device is for me, but I've been in a little bit of an anti-Apple and anti-Windows funk lately...that I felt it worth mentioning here. Rich Hoeg has this to say about the N800:
I've created a short screencast
which demonstrates many of the features found upon the Nokia N800.
However, here are a few of the reasons I chose the Nokia over the iPod
Touch:
- Open Source Platform and Software
- Bluetooth and Wifi Enabled
- Embedded Microphone (Skype anyone?)
The practical result of these three facts is that the capability of
my Nokia N800's is constantly expanding as developers create new
software for a platform which is not locked down (i.e. like Apple). The
fact that is was cheaper than the iTouch did not hurt either (about
$220 U.S.)...
The rest of Hoeg's discussion about the N800 can be found in his article, A Geek's Toy ... For Anyone! The Nokia N800.

Nokia N800 review
Nokia N800 is the successor to Nokia 770 which did well in the market. I really liked the browser and the design too is travel friendly.

It holds a lot of smudges but you can easily read it in bright sunlight.
