I was curious about a n810 or earlier model a month ago, but I found them difficult to find here. Anywhere I found them was almost *twice* the price of what it was in the U.S. Many of the site I was looking at seemed outdated, but even the up-to-date sites were disappointing. I even contacted a few stores Nokia had listed as retailers, and they did not carry them. The Nokia site isn't the mess it was a month or two ago, but still...<br>
<br>I ended up settling on an Archos 5, which Best Buy has on sale, but out of stock. Future Shop matches the price, so I got the 60 GB model for about $250.<br><br>I briefly considered an Ipod Touch, but apparently it doesn't play nice with Linux.<br>
<br>I think I should write an article to tell you folks what usability and trinkets are like...<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Aug 28, 2009 at 12:00 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:roundtable-request@muug.mb.ca" target="_blank">roundtable-request@muug.mb.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>
