I have (and love!) a Nokia N800. There is so much it can do, and a tons of apps that are written for, or ported to, this handy handheld.
The Nokia NSeries Internet Tablets (the N800, N810, and N810 WiMax Edition) are similar to the Pandora in a number of ways - they both use Linux, they both use 800 x 480 4 inch touchscreen, they both use ARM processors (although the Pandora's processor is much faster), they both run a version of Debian.
Now, my question is - how hard would it be to get Maemo applications to run on a Pandora? Since all the apps' GUIs are already optimized for the screen, wouldn't that be a good starting place?
To give you an idea for those who do not have and may not of ever heard of a Nokia Internet Tablet, here are some apps that are out for it:
