Dude, I almost named my son Marvel (joking)... but yep, comic book geek since before I could read.

Still reading them, no longer collecting.

I've started rifling through every app that I've never tried before and ran into cbr reader.

I even subscribed to my first RSS feed to Comics Land yesterday.

The only comic I have so far is The Darkness - Shadows and Flames.

Pretty cool stuff to be able to view it on the tablet.

Any suggestions for someone like me who is just now finding out about this?

My N810 is with me and used most days.

Mainly:
MicroB web browsing
E-Mail
OMweather
Solitaire
Seqretary as a backup to papyrus on my e62

Occasionally:
Mplayer for movies/mp3's
fbreader
USB Control for access to misc files on USB Sticks

I WiFi connect regularly via a cradlepoint portable hotspot and a usb cellular modem it's great in the office (off the corporate network) or on the road.

As far as comics go, my tastes have matured as I have. I tend to like certain style of books. I love the Darkness, actually... just purchased the Compendium for it last week in fact.

Lately, I've been surprised by Marvel's Dark Avengers, Secret Warriors and now Siege. They're mixing in my absolute favorite villain, Dr. Doom into the mix in a way that... well, surprises me. That and the reboot of Iron Man - literally, a reboot of his brain - has my attention too, and that ties into the Siege line very well. I'm surprised that I returned to a Marvel book, so I started looking at the others... Punisher MAX, part of the more adult MAX line is running their Kingpin story anew. And the way it's written is creative and great. That's another reboot actually.

On the DC side, Blackest Night had my attention for a while; but it's starting to get too spread out, so stick with the Green Lantern part(s). This came after the amazing Sinestro Corps arc which was, for all intents and purposes a redefinition of that portion of the DC side.

On Vertigo, I JUST finished the entire 100 Bullets series. I collected that for almost 10 years, and honestly... it was a good ride. Very adult, I somehow gravitated to the bad guy of the series, Lono and it's pretty bad ***. The ending though... I'm still thinking about that one.

If you liked The Darkness, the 3 part series of The Darkness & Pitt both was a good series, ended abruptly.

I have some other picks, but they tend to be rather dark. And by dark, I mean dark & a tad bit demented. Not because it reflects me at all, I just like sardonic wit and adult writing styles. The Boys is a deep satire, even to itself actually. Irredeemable and it's spin-off Incorruptible are both written by Mark Waid. The Boys is written by Garth Ennis - I love his writing style and when he's let loose, he's dark and witty.

Scalped is a bit darker, but the story really is worked well, reminds me of Azzarello's work on 100 Bullets.

I'm all over I guess. Matters on what you like. I'm a Batman fan, but only tend to pick him up when the story is good - Batman: Widening Gyre & Batman: Hush are examples of GREAT story, great pacing, and Batman as I see him... dark, dry wit and showing how he's the world's best detective first and foremost.

After that, I've been a secret Green Lantern fan always, but also a huge Dr. Doom & Darkseid fan - love the bad guys.

Hope that helps. I got many more man.

I use my N810 everyday and won't be letting it collect dust anytime soon. I just wish there was more CPU power and bus power; every time I consider an N900, I just have to remind myself of the small screen size.

Awesome post there Gerbick!

That right there should keep me quite busy for a long time to come.

I use my n810 everyday, mainly browsing net, theremin, email and music.

Was thinking of getting the n900 until i saw it in a shop last week - way too small - i`ll make do with using my mobile phone via bluetooth as modem and will be keeping my n810.

I don't use it much, but I do use it every day, reading rss feeds in the morning and some light browsing with tear from time to time.
Anything else is too taxing on the battery (I have a couple of cheap ebay batteries that last around 1 hour each, the original battery doesn't last for more than 10 minutes).
Edit: oh, and I also use maemo mapper to track the position when I take a ferry. I just have to choose a location with a nearby 220v socket

In no particular order:

listening to internet radio
Skype
recipes
notes
web browsing (mainly webmail, facebook, blogging, and twitter, using microb)
marking sites on the map/gps
downloading/playing videos (esp for my grandson to watch in the car, restaurants, whatever)
reading ebooks
SMS (via google voice)
alarm clock
podcasts
rss feeds
camera (grandson makes cute faces when he's watching himself!)
mp3 player
photo album/shower-offer
keeping track of weather
Bible (fits in my pocket for church better than my big one)/reference materials
games to kill time

"N8" as I call him, is my constant companion and I am using him constantly all day and often during the night...can't imagine what I'd do without him. Blogged about him last summer (http://chiachatter.blogspot.com/2009...ove-story.html) but I use him for even more stuff now. Hope he never wears out, and have no intention of getting the 900.
