Some background information: jkOnTheRun is owned and operated by Kevin C. Tofel and James Kendrick. They have some of the most informative video reviews I’ve ever seen on the net, period. The only people who seem to produce video reviews of the same, or even better quality, are the fine folks at GottaBeMobile.

While reminds me, Dear Nokia: Please hook up GottaBeMobile with a Nokia N800. They do lengthy, quality, and in depth video reviews. I would love to see their take on your device. Rob Bushway has already expressed interest in the N800.

Anyways, back to what Kevin has to say:

Our kids have a two-hour school delay due to some ice and snow, but that didn’t stop the FedEx man from swinging by a few minutes ago. Have a look-see above for what was in the package: a Nokia N800 Internet Tablet! This is just a loaner for the next two weeks or so and it just goes to show you that attending CES is a must if you’re addicted to tech like we are. I stopped at the Nokia booth in the last few hours of the last day of the show: you know, the time where everyone is fighting with the crowds at the airport? I was lucky enough to get as much time as I needed with the Nokia reps to discuss the N800 and after further conversation, made the right contacts to have the device sent out. A huge thank you to all of the Nokia folks I spoke with that day!

This will be interesting as this is my first true Linux-based device; after some "getting acquainted" time, I’ll be sure to sure thoughts, impressions, likes and dislikes.
