Also consider an Apple iPod Touch (or the iPhone, if you also want a mobile phone) with the iPeng skin. Looks to be superior to the N800 and there's an exceptional developer working on the skin and (maybe) even a native iPod application. For the same $300 as an SB controller you can buy a new 8GB iPod Touch, although they can be had for as little as $200 on eBay and Craigslist. If recent Apple history is any guide, before long we can expect a 2nd generation of even faster touchscreen iPod's with WIFI and web browsing capablilities, possibly with larger screens. When that happens, 8GB iPod Touches will become dirt cheap. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42038 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
