Nokia’s N800 vs The iPod Touch

Sorry about not writing yesterday, I have been way to hooked on Halo 3 and let me tell ya, its 10 times better than the beta was! Its truly as The Sun (UK Newspaper) said: “Forget game of the year – this is the game of the decade“. Want a game with the pro himself? Add my gamertag to your buddy list which is: Xaasid (or Be g0ne [note its a zero not an O] )

Nokia’s N800 Internet Tablet and Apple’s iPod Touch are similar devices with very obvious differences.

The Nokia, for example, has a bigger touch screen (4.1in v 3.5in), built-in FM radio, and is open (runs Linux), so you can install applications. It comes with Skype so you can use it as a VoIP phone. The iPod Touch has much more storage (8GB or 16GB v 128MB) and is a much better music player, but it’s a proprietary system and lacks the Nokia’s communications features. Which to choose?

At TabletBlog.com, ThoughtFix has done an interesting comparison complete with photos, videos, tests and a table. To skip to the conclusion:

The winner here depends on which application is more important to the consumer. If you want a richer internet experience, installable applications, and a wider variety of functionality, get the N800. If you want a slim, attractive media player with occasional light web browsing thrown in, get an iPod touch. For me, neither will replace the other.

Perhaps I can decide better between the two if someone would send me the gadgets or I could always buy a page on the Million Euro Wiki and try my luck for the iPod Touch they give away for every 25 pages sold, guess who won in the first round…
