Should have given him a good luck for his op. He goes in for a quadruple heart bypass shortly...

Still can't say I'm convinced by the new nano. Nice tiny vid player, but there's still a market for an 8 GB postage stamp sized pod, which they seem to have abandoned. The array of colours for the nano is pleasing though.

Apparently, you can register a bogus US address with a non-US credit card. Given there's no physical items to post.

Thanks Kemper, that's interesting. I must admit that the glass-faced multitouch digitiser does sound very compelling. I still think my disquiet with Apple being against people writing apps for it is due to more than mere "geek angst", though. :)

Browsing and scanning across pages with the touch interface, zooming in/out is fast and intuitive. Flipping to landscape mode and back again is also fast and ergonomic if you want to fit larger font sizes to the screen. If the 800 version is quicker and more responsive then it might be a closer call. It really is all about the feel and that's sometimes difficult to quantify if you know what I mean.
The N800 just barely feels fast enough when running Opera, so I can imagine the 770 must lag a bit at times.

Fingers crossed that the new Newton rumours are true. But I'm *definitely* not holding my breath!

I'd be expecting them at an even slower rate than Nintendo are doing with Wii channels. If ever.

Wait? What sort of fucking tech geek are you. It's plugged into the USB port and the cable is longer than 2 inches. Start playing with the fucker. Stroke that bitch like you're making love to yourself.

8O

Due to my new found status as pauper this is probably the last shiny toy I'll be able to get for a while, but oh my, it is a very nice one indeed...
