Christ, Lar, you're (almost) as bad as Oxford! When _I_ pointed out
LogMeIn to you several months ago, (before it was ported to the N800) as an
alternative to Remote Desktop, you poo-pooed it as insecure and said how'd
you never run _your_ data through someone else's server, since you didn't
know who "they" were...
Now that it's "touched" the N800, it's the greatest thing since sliced
bread!
(Now that I'm done picking on you, I'll second the notion that LogMeIn, is,
in fact, the greatest thing since sliced bread!) ;-)

you don't need any special software to view all the apps for the iphone,
just any regular itunes software will suffice.

no checkout? then how is a developer going to be interested in
developing for their platform? they've been caught off guard to say the
least.

out of memory errors? you wouldn't see that on an iPhone, poor larry,

Actually the N8xx series Linux tablets are a niche product, aimed a small
market. Being that they aren't phones at all (other than the ability to
run IP telephony apps like Skype and Gizmo) they aren't positioned as
competitors to the iPhone- Nokia sells phones for that. If Nokia's web
tablet division disappeared from the face of the Earth tomorrow, Nokia
probably wouldn't notice until September when their quarterly reports
became past-due...
Having said that, the tablets are slick little mini-computers. I'd
probably buy one just for giggles except that I don't have the time to
delve into another platform, despite the fact that Larry's posts make it
sound like an absolute hoot to tinker with.
He's a far better advocate for the Nokia tablets than you are for the iPhone,
frankly, since he posts his real-world experiences with excitement, rather
than your tired rhetoric, platitudes, and ridiculous claims.

Except those of us without iPhones or iPods have no reason to install an
80MB media player and library app. The only praise I'll give iTunes is
that it's _slightly_ less annoying and akward than the abominable Zune
software I'm forced to use to manage my kids' Zunes. Oh well, at least the
Zune software is pretty...

QuickTime is far more than just a "media player"... it's an entire
multimedia architecture that makes the web & your apps come alive.
check out some of the specs, windows has nothing like it...
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/technologies.html
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/specs.html
that's why Macs are so much more usable on the web, while using a PC
running Windows or Linux is like watching 1970's TV in comparison.

The $30 Bible app is for the NIV Bible, not the King James Bible. The
NIV is copyright 1973 for the Old Testament, and 1978 for the New
Testament.

....as a stockholder, too bad their balance sheet doesn't agree with you.
Unfortunately, Mac/iPhone are niche products for a small percentage of the
overall PC users who like being held by the hand and forced to do what
Apple tells them to.
....besides, like it or not, the software is written for WINDOZE because one
man, Steve Jobs, refused to let 3rd parties have at it like Micro$not did.
Sure wish I'd taken a mini computer friend's advise and bought Microsoft
stock in 1967 when they had 12 employees in Billy's garage......Nuts.

Isn't that kinda irrelevant since it's about a superstition that is 2000
years old without a shred of evidence to support it?

That's marketing speak- translated into English, it's a media player with
browser integration. So is WMP, Real, and to a lesser extent, Flash,
Silverlight, Shockwave, etc.

no, you are just talking about the "player", not all the API's for Apps,
that can be utilized once QuickTime is installed. It's an entire layer
of software that makes the machine more colorful, play crisper videos,
better sound, music integration, etc... throughout the entire OS.

I don't think there much difference between believing in Harry Potter and
believing in the major moneyed religions, is there?
Harry Potter doesn't constantly ask for money....only once.
