hanzo is on a distinguished road
I have an N800 (upgraded from my 770) so if I may put in my 2 fil...

The Nokia Tablets are amazing powerful, but the screen is really just too small for extended sessions. It's a good "beside the couch in the living room" computer.

I also have a PSP, and text entry is a misery.

Unfortunately I can't provide any positive feedback, because I honestly just don't know of a device that fits your needs.

Thanks Hanzo. What I really want this device for is check on RSS and do some simple email, that's about it. As you said I want it in the couch in front of the TV, at the gym (when I'm on a bike), but also on the go in situations when I wouldn't necessarily take a notebook. The iPhone is a good choice (thanks for the links gajanan) and I tried it at the gym and it works okay. Something a little bit bigger (the screen) would be nice but perhaps not critical. We'll see once the AppStore opens what is on offer, perhaps some things that make things easier to read on iPhone. With a Gorillapod Go-Go you can mount in on the handlebar Then I can catch up with RSS at least while exercising.
