Well, …. I returned it. Yes it has many good features and capabilities, but I found it to be too heavy to carry around in my pocket, and I wasn’t overly impressed with the slide-out keyboard. Add to that the fact that some things were unreadable on the screen, and the zoom feature was slow and didn’t scale the screen properly, …. I started looking for something else to use as a WiFi Internet tablet.
You’ll never guess what I chose. The Apple iPod Touch.
It’s smaller, lighter, and more pocketable than the N810. The battery lasts twice as long, the screen scales in an instant and keeps the image and text in the same physical format. The Touch’s on-screen keyboard is quicker and easier to use that the slide-out mechanical keyboard on the N810.
Of course it doesn’t hurt that the thing hooks to a TV like a DVR and plays movies on the TV (I currently have about 12 full length movies in my unit, and room for more), or you can watch them on the Touch's screen.
I have my complete MS Outlook Contacts list in it, and can update or add new on the fly. I can also take notes. The Touch has a calendar function, complete with alarms, as well as a World Clock with alarms. If you need of a calculator from time to time, there is a very good one available at the press of a touch screen button.
So the ‘must have’ gadget that the kids are buying for their music on the go has real word uses for the computer geeks, or anyone who just wishes to have their email in their shirt pocket.
