Nokia have released the nokia N800 internet tablet. It's not a phone and unlike the forthcoming Apple iphone it allows 3rd party applications to be installed.
Nice machine. But I'm not into Linux b/c all the software I have and know is windows based. Not that Linux is bad, I just don't know it, and I need professional software to use at work that works with Act!, Outlook and Office. However, the device is intriguiging. Was there a price, I didn't see it when I read the review.
Nifty! It's a bit clunky, however, when compared to the Axim. It is more of a small tablet or comparable to a UMPC.
Looking at the stats of the device, and its price, I'd have to say that I severely and seriously want one of these. Linux-based, built-in webcam (not yet fully developed), 128MB of RAM, 256MB of flash memory and twin SD slots. WiFi b/g, Bluetooth 2.0, and USB 2.0 (Device mode... darn). What would made this the absolute monster that would destroy all comers would be a USB host.
No not an Axim killer, this is mainly geared for media and chat.
It's really a nice break from a PDA but since it runs a type of Linux (Internet Tablet OS)
you can probably find some office apps too for it.
I'm not too sure if you can sync your information though.
I say if you want to do it all, go for an Axim X51v but if you wanna try something new/different, get the N800.
Its a matter of tastes and knowledge versus better than...
These are really kind of nice, I have a friend that has the old model, and it is impressive. However I think it's a little lacking in some areas. As a portable internet device it does have it's nitch. I was expecting a little more from the newer model, but I am sure they was looking to keep the cost down.

i like some of the specs but in no way do i think this to be an "axim killer" my main concern is the availability of applications. Yes it does run linux but its the only device that runs that deviation of linux (i think) so not as many applications will be made available for the OS as say windows mobile because their is not as much of a need.
plus its not as pretty as the axim

Yes., but seeing as 99+% of Linx apps are open source, it would be rather easy to compile against the PDA's CPU and get a compatible app. WMWARE images of an SDK for this platform are available on WMWARE's site for free as well, all in one package. How nice is that?
