    This is the bummer. I think the n810 is about 225 grams and the n900 is rumored at 190 grams. Also, the n900 might be thicker than the n810 by 4mm. :(

    The good part, kind of, is the length x width should be very close, if not smaller, than the iPod touch/iPhone.

    Portable terminals need to be disposable, not contain your life (or blood IMHO).

    I haven't had a cell phone that's lasted less. Just don't forget to do your backups.

    F*ck the article. With a $40 IR tranceiver, $25 worth of cables/wires, and a $70 router I can turn your $10 remote into a $500 remote and still use my smart phone (computer, tablet, ..., etc.) to control everything. Or I can turn your $10 remote into a $5 remote so your A/V illiterate guests don't f*ck-up any of your sh*t. Everybody, and every thing, you care about wins.

    I like what you've said in this post and in your later response, but I think your position would be stronger if you lean less towards cooperation and competition needing to be mutually exclusive, regardless if either of them are driven by the "greater good" and/or "self interest." I, as do many others, claim that, in the limit, the FOSS movement has no downside because it incorporates all the good of diverse economic systems, and few if not any of their evils. This theory has been argued by far better people than I/me (I never get that right), and it seems that most points against are FUD. FOSS allows you to have both "healthy" competition and "healthy" cooperation that serve both the "greater good" and "self interest." And of course by "healthy" I mean good policies that don't have trust as a prerequisite. Easy as pie so let's keep moving.

    I realize you were discussing free market capitalism vs. communism, but my opinion is that those ideologies have rapidly become inappropriate and are too simplistic when applied to code-as-product. For instance, what are you going to do about hardware/software that "becomes more human than human?" Have an industrial accident? Continue to enslave it? Will we need 3 basic laws or 4 basic laws? Or possibly one day grant it/her/him/them basic "human" rights? What will their drinking age be? And so on. What I meant to say was, I love my Rachel 2000.

    And as far as software being free, I prefer the simile "free as in air" to "free as in freedom." Air is essential to our survival; it is already distributed and you can generally take as much as you like no matter how much debt you are in. Software, also essential to our survival if you consider DNA, distributes like a virus and you can fill-up yours and/or other's devices with it. Freedom, on the other hand, seems hard to define and it is distributed too slowly and at a very high cost. And maybe, just maybe, there should be no labeling of software at all. Maybe it should just be.
