Forget everything else, YouTube is the sine qua non. This must sting at Nokia, because of course that undercuts the N800 just where it’s intended to settle.
Well said, Roger. And it had better sting! The failure to provide for YouTube could doom this otherwise deserving device.

Popular technology imagines and serves popular taste. While I may not wish to relate to the n800 or the Net itself as a giant jukebox or TV, the goal of selling lots of n800s should take into account what the masses like to do.

If it's a licensing matter with Adobe, Nokia would be well-served to cough up the fee, incorporate the latest Flash and roll out new ads touting streaming video usage before the n800 acquires a fusty, last-gen reputation.
