Help Me Pick My New Toy
I'm looking for an ultra-portable device for accessing the internet and doing other light computing. I've narrowed my choices to the following: Nokia N800, Nokia N810, iPod Touch, and ASUS Eee. The N800 is currently my favorite. It is the cheapest and has a nice sized screen with a good resolution, but, it lacks a physical keyboard. The N810 adds the keyboard, but also doubles the price and does not add anything else I really want. The Touch is small, sexy, and has a great interface, but would not be as customizable as the Nokias without hacking it, the screen is smaller and has a lower resolution, and it has no physical keyboard. The Eee is a "real" computer, has USB ports, and is probably the most customizable, but it is relatively large and I already have a 3.6 pound portable, so while this would be smaller, I'm not sure that the size difference is enough to really change how I would use it. Interestingly I had an order in for the Eee a few weeks ago, but canceled it when I decided the screen was really to small and low resolution for the device. Am I missing another options? I'd love your opinions.
