Ha ha! The joke's on you, the N810 and WiMAX tablets aren't generational upgrades!

You'll be buying two generations in a row.

That would be Mara, right? I think I have those.

I'm watching online for a Wii, but the only console I have in the house for games is a SNES. I think that counts as generation skipping.

I would like to add to Brontide: I actually used to share your opinion above. I have only recently changed my mind upon reflection.
Why? Increasing the appeal and out-of-box experience would expand the userbase. Community support is probably log(o) related to size of the community. My post said nothing about adding PIM's, just about the end user experience. The wording of the one sentence could have been better, I never intended to say that average users could not use the NIT's, just that many will be frustrated and potentially "give up".

Maybe I'm just spoiled as a Mac user, but neither the iPhone or the touch were a good fit for me and the NIT gives me what I want as long as I don't expect too much from it.

Brontide, you misunderstood (my fault). I meant your opinion on average users. If you check the first response, you'll see I agreed 100% that the out-of-box experience should be improved... that's why I assumed the second response would be more easily understood. Sorry.
