PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Nokia released a new update for their Linux-based N800 internet tablet, v3.2007.10-7 which includes improvements and fixes in video and Flash performance and quality, Bluetooth connection, browser stability, activating touch screen and keys lock, new camera app, rdesktop and more. Nokia also wrote an good-looking front-end to Real's Rhapsody service that includes a 30 days free trial. You can choose from millions of songs to fetch and playback via WiFi (no permanent downloading). In my test, the N800 managed 4 hours of battery life of fetching+playback using Rhapsody.

While I generally avoid Real player on the desktop, I've actually found the PalmOS port to be alright so this should be a good thing especialy with Rhapsody streaming.

Why avoid it ?
Realplayer is actually somewhat excellent under Linux.
It is just the Windows version that sux balls with all the included crap, the player itself is great.

The client was written by Nokia, not Real.

The UI of the Rhapsody client is near identical to the Nokia's uPNP client called "Media Streamer":
