I suggest you study more about maemo history. Man you have strongly tinted goggles....
hint: it is easy to say now what is needed at mobile markets to succeed. why didn't you say the same words in 2004 before 770?
Talk less, say more.
it really is easy to be the wise guy afterwards..
dont want to continue offtopic anymore, I just cant believe your arguments... lets just say that thank god I don't have the goggles you do.
Find fault in that, I dare you.

iPad my *****. It's an overpriced box with the same OS which makes the iPhone an unusable slave system unless you jailbreak it. And that's just the software issue, now think about all the things it lacks in terms of hardware. Apple has hit the iceberg...hopefully they sink.

lets just say that if one lacks the perspective that other has, there is nothing to do in internets.
please try to make your mind do you want to be the wise guy or not.
and I think I found the shade of goggles. I think it is called "me me me me me!" because your perspective is self-centric. Mine is mobile market centric. your time point is right now, mine lies in the future.

I suspect that no multitasking is because of battery life again and no flash, meybe it's thinking about their market, the websites that they want you to browse they can be opened in iphone and ipad. they earn lots of money from their online shops, and more apps, music and now books the more people buy their products. In time they will have to be more open but now they don't need to. I don't know what Nokia is doing with their future. I have n900 from 8 december and it's great device and i love it, but no f..ing apps, where is proper navigation ? working excel ? it's good to have fun with device but afterwards it must help you to do your job. So Nokia start doing something otherwise when iPhone 4g come... I don't even want to thinh about it

Frickin' *finally*. Now we're (hopefully) going back on track to where we were headed before Microsoft's "Tablet PC" crusade. Large-ish screen, low-power chips, perhaps ARM based. I'm disappointed on the res (1024x768? Really?) but otherwise not at all a shock.
The only question I have is when I can get something like this with Maemo! I/we've been talking about this for a while now!

Hmmm...I love it! Not the iPad, the shakeup. So...I have to ask again, I've asked before; before the n900 was released, why can't we have a wifi only, in addition to the 3G versions. I'm reiterating only because I'm waiting for the Maemo 6 device slated for later this year.
Anyways, for the near term, prices...$569 for a n900 (from Nokia, which I know, I know, doesn't represent other prices you can find it at) vs $729 for an ipad( to match the built in 32GB and 3G radio built in). The sticker shock from unsubsidized high end handsets has often been touted as the reason that Nokia doesn't do as well in the USA as elsewhere, so I'm curious to see how this plays out.
And, yes, it's not a handset, it's a tablet, but if you look around at the offerings out of CES, Notion Ink Adam for example, which has very, very similar specs (A9 based Tegra 2, same size, same weight, 3G, etc, look at the write up on slashgear) they're targeting $300ish for a device that is as, if not more capable than what Apple is offering

My answer is... so what? One of my original complaints with the Visor vs the Palm 3 was: The display was impossible to read in sunlight. Sure, color was great, but the versatility to look at my PDA in the sun or bright light situations would surely outweigh or temper the drive to the Visor display, which appeared to be inferior on both the power usage and versatility fronts.
We all saw how those "inferior" arrangements turned out in the PDA world.
So the follow-up question should be, "Is the device's display good enough to attract and capture a sizable audience of e-book/e-zine/e-news readers due to the addition of color, motion, and high glossy?"
I think the answer is "Yes."
The proprietary e-book readers have just been attacked and relegated to a small niche if Apple can get the content channels really going.

That's not taking into account the eye strain issue which seem to affect some readers (of which I am not one, I like reading on my n800). Remains to be seen how big the niche will be, but it'll be interesting.
