I thought that memory capability was limited to 2 GB cards currently? The current N800 has dropped to $230.00 in a lot of places so I don't see that a new N800 could retail for say the original MSRP $375 + 100 = $475.00... The older 770 held at $375 until the N800 was formally announced. I think that it's much more likely to retail under $400.00 point, or it wll clash with low end laptops with more capabilities. The N800 succesor needs improved capability and a hold on the price, or devices like the Asus 701 (think I got the number right) might well take the market away. i.e. it needs a GPS capability, continued WiFi + add on cards for WiMax etc. All IMHO of course.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Here's hoping for a new N8XX with:
- Better video playback
- Integrated GPS
- slide out thumboard
the N800 already has dual internal SDHC card slots for up to 16GB of memory.

Nokia.com says both internal SD slots are SDHC compatible, up to 8GB each.
Ian the difference between SD and SDHC is a simple software patch (in the right conditions(please note right conditions may vary :P))
all it is is a change to fat32 and a new addressing method both done in software.
The N800 currently supports 16GB SDHC cards just fine (for a total of 32GB).
