Re: Arrington on TechCrunch - Wants A Touch Screen Web Tablet Built

If he really wants something that just runs a browser and skype, why does he care that in runs on linux? And why the need for all that ram and flash?

To me this is one of the big advantages of the 770. By leaving it on I can just pick it up and use it, rather than wait the extra few seconds it takes to get a laptop out if hybernate or standby...

Re: Need News Getter for News Reader

If by news you mean web pages and not usenet, search this forum for "daily pluck", although it's a commandline script, so it's not an easy-to-use solution.

Re: N800 vs iPod touch

FBReader wraps text, there's never any sideways scrolling involved.

Re: Good news bad news N800 $242, Amazon $279,99

I feel the same way. Although I haven't tried an N800 either, so maybe I'd like it. I don't need a radio, and the camera doesn't sound too impressive.
