The Nokia N810 is listed at $479, available in November. Good news for current N770 and N800 owners: we'll get the updated OS, too.

Nice!! A great replacement for my Q1P. I've been thinking what to replace my Q1P with after I got a Fujitsu T2010 (Thanks Matt and Rob for your inkshow you made me burn a huge hole in my pocket :) ) This piece of hardware looks very solid. I've been thinking between this, Ipod touch and Vaio UX series. I would like to know if the Nokia N800/N810 supports SSH clients such as putty and telnet? I want a portable net surfing device and if this supports SSH then I'm all in.

There is a company called One Voice that says they are the creator of 4th generation voice recognition software. I have been looking to get a UMPC, leaning towards the overpriced but powerful Sony UX series. The new one with 64GB flash memory and Core 2 Solo is looking really tempting, except for the price. One of the problems with all of the UMPC's has been input options. I was curious if anyone has tried voice commands as an option, and specifically the One Voice program. I have used voice recognition software in the past, Dragon Naturally Speaking, and found it to be useful at times, although the training was time consuming and bothersome. The One Voice product says it does not need training. I do not have a computer with Vista to try it out on, but I think the UMPC community could potentially benefit from it a great deal, if it works as advertised. If you could review the program on a UMPC with Vista (the UX series if you can, the program does require a powerful processor) I would be very interested in your findings and opinion.
