in my opinion i like the more portable devices like the nokia which i own and use almost daily but i also like power depending on what im doing thats why i bought the asus but the 900 version because i saw your video

More batterylife hands down.

i rather have something with lower battery life and more applications.

Not tryin' to be a jerk, I really am thankful for your work. But did you throw-up a little after that first drink...halarious.

correction: third line down "that map to small gui touch-screen buttons" correction: 4th line down "they should max out" Ahh...the wonders of proof-reading after the fact.

Honestly, my answer to this is portability and reducing battery memory. Also, I'm not aware of any open-source character recognition development. We also need a framework for coding quick cmd's that map small gui's. A little off-topic, but I think they max out bus speeds on these devices and make components removable so they can swapped out as different loads are needed (i.e. CPU, Ram, Wifi chip, etc.)That idea will probably cut into portability though. But thats just a thought for the future.

I am kinda in the middle too. I don't think taking somthing powerful outside is a good idea for now. since the size will be limiting. Best is to have a UMPC to take out.. and have a powerful desktop at home in my opinion for now..

I'm all for portability. The internet is the future.

What matters to me is battery life, Web browser and media capabilities. All without being a linux guru and spending hours on configs. The n800 tries to do all of this but falls short. Though, I credit Nokia for delivering such a device at an affordable price point. I dont like Microsofts approach of cramming a desktop OS into UPMC's. An OS that is easy to use and conforms to the device is key. Lets see what Apple churns out in the coming months.

I hope this isn't off topic, but my umpc at 1.2 gig and 512 ram is more powerful than anything i owned 5 years ago and yet seems slower. i mean you hit ctrl-alt-del now and you have thirty processes running in the background. and antivirus really slows pc's down. we need software that will let us shut down every thing we don't need at the moment, then umpc's will be more usable. heck my old toughbook boots 5 times faster than my sony ux at half the cpu and a quarter the ram.
