KDE on N810Looks like those who are dissatisfied with the OS 2007/2008 interface finally have a new option. Ty from Geek Penguin has successfully installed an "optimized" port of KDE on his Nokia N810, claiming performance similar to his desktop. The KDE port is pack with a few useful applications as well, including KOffice and CUPS -allowing printing from the tablet. This really proves the potential of the hardware shipping in the tablets, and I do not think its too far off before we see a complete distribution port. 

You can get instructions for the installation over at Geek Penguin and Tablet Hacker. I will be installing this on my N800 shortly and will keep you updated with the progress. The N800 has a slightly slower processor than its successor, however it should still be capable; although possibly a bit slower. has the same processor as the N810, however it was orginally underclocked (until OS 2008).

Yes- the Garnet emulator is available for the N800 or N810 tablet to run Palm OS software. I do not know about Outlook, but there are email applications that work with IMAP, no problem.
