it just confirms why I don't want it - look at the beautiful screen of the N810 - rover just won't hack it for watching vids, one of my primary uses for NITs.

Yeah hes talking screen size. I'm with him. I watcha lot of videos on my n810. I travel a lot for work and it is my life saver on planes. I would love the horse power of the n900 but a larger screen would be sweet candy. That is truly the only thing that I would change. I love the rest of it. I will continue my hope for a seperate device with more screen realestate.

I would happily give up .5" to get smooth video playback.
The problem though is when you look at these devices in profile. It ain't pretty.

Wouldn't help you on the move though...

Presumably we'll see a keyboardless Maemo phone next year which would be a more direct match though.

You could take the N900 with you everywhere in your pocket, and use it as a phone, and keep an N8x0 in your backpack for watching (transcoded) videos.

Their N900 is stretched too far wide! I took the challenge of making another one, containing a few more important comparison devices

I have a 7" aftermarket touchscreen that uses USB as the input for the touch screen and will accept composite for the video. I will plug the usb into the OTG micro USB of the N900. Now a have a larger Touch screen for my n900. (i do this in my car lets say, for larger nav and interface so i dont crash my car)
Can I charge it via USB whilst using hte USB for the touchscreen interface? I'm assuming no. This also sucks for anyone trying to use usb and charge for any reason.
