Off the top of my head, the N800 has a faster processor (330mhz), additional memory (though the 770 could be easily hacked to have comparable memory -2g I think). Both run linux and there is a good community of people who develop for the 770. The 800 will have a similar community, no doubt.
It's not a full-fledged UMPC, but it's close. For a real UMPC, you could look at the Samsung Q1 or possibly one of the nicer models from TabletKiosk. The tabletscape (like the blogosphere but tablet afficianados) is a great place to start looking for reviews on devices like this. I've watched at least 3 unboxings or full out reviews of the N800 this week and last week, so if you need some help locating some videos let me know. The video blogs from some of these guys are amazing. Take a look at the LG KE850: http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/13/video-of-lgs-ke850-its-no-poser/ Robyn From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2007 4:30 PM To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [videoblogging] Re: [video_vertigo] iPhone A friend of mine bought the N770... that's the small handheld tablet device that runs a form of debian linux right? I don't think it panned out for him... ended up in a drawer like most such devices. I'll have to check out the specs on the N800 and see what's new. The only problem I think it has is that noone knows what to do with it. There aren't any clear use cases or models... you can do all sorts of stuff with it, but it's not clearly defined... it's an undifined market niche.
