It’s not often at all that I get gadget-lust, but wow, the Nokia N900 looks AWESOME. *drool*
- 800×480 touch screen
- Full keyboard
- Wifi
- GPS
- THIRTY TWO GIGS of internal storage
- FIVE mega-pixel camera
- and it goes on, and on
So, all of that is awesome in it’s own right, but the real reason this makes me salivates is that it runs a full Linux distribution as it’s operating system, which means it’s totally hackable, instead of the usual locked down cage that most cell phones come in (iphone, cough, iphone). In other words, instead of being a vessel through which you can buy things from your phone carrier, or from a single corporate store – this is a real computer, you can really program. And since it runs Linux, I would tend to guess instead of having an app store to throw money at, there will be a lot more free / open source apps for it so you can actually take advantage of the awesome hardware.
