I do not intend this as a flame, but you chose the wrong device. You want a laptop/tablet PC and you'll have to pay for it in both size and cost. Just putting together a package like the N800.770 is is a feat. Look at UMPCs and see what you can find, but I'd challenge you to find one that will do what you want for twice the price of the N800.

This issue can't be fixed <perhaps> > by a better driver. Re-encoding stuff sucks. N800 is getting close, but to stream video (that people don't adequately encode) you really need power.

Browsing/reading email does not really need a keyboard. A keyboard makes this already a bit to large device, way to large to fit in a pocket. > > 3rd worst problem is no 3G/cellular capability built-in. > <Opinion>By far the best choice! Why? Well adding cell support jumps the cost up probably another $100 US. and secondly this puts pressure on the cell market. Right now there is no competition. I know wifi is still not ubiquitous, and the N800 does not replace the cell phone, but it adds some pressure that will keep growing. Maybe cell cos will start dropipping prices/adding features to stay competitive. </Opinion> Again, this is not a flame. I am just expressing the fact that your 3 major drawbacks to the device are the 3 most interesting features for me. (well I would like more CPU power, but who doesn't). I do look forward to BT headsets tho! I hate the wire to my head when listening to music. It is the last wire !
