I was interested in the N800 for doing homebrew mobile gaming (doing it for a DS or PSP is
generally more of a pain that doing it for any open system), but the lack of button on the
right-side of the device made using it for NES/SNES/GB emulation pretty impossible.

A keyboard makes up for that; might not be as nice as a standard controller layout, but you
could make something playable.

Combined with the touch features on the screen, an N800 with a decent gaming stack could be a
good contender for 2D games compared to the DS/PSP for Free Software coders.
