Ipod are world known for dead batteries. Thats why every store in the US sells battery kits. they dont sell Hard drive kits only battery kits.
Where do you come up with this stuff?
As I said, I have had several iPods, and I know many people with iPods, and I have not had problems with batteries, and there is no person that I know who has had a problem. I am not saying no person has a problem, I am saying that any problems are way below what you say.

Here are 2 stores incase you dont know about the bad batts.

Apple like Sony always sells top end stuff and misses out on core things to profit them self. Kind a dumb.

Unfortunately when people act like this it causes suffering for the end user who doesn't get the benefits of good ideas that are already out there simply because someone couldn't swallow their pride and continues to think that similar devices are their "enemy".
I could care less what people think about MY n800 or MY iphone: whether they love it, hate it, and they can spend the whole day typing mean-spirited comments THEN getting taking it all personally defending their favored platform... or whatever.
But what I hope ppl do (Especially the from the Nokia side) is be like Vikings (or pirates) and steal\plunder whatever that's good from the other camp to improve the their platform.. rather than being self righteous and shut yourself up from a good source of ideas.

I bought the N810 to be a mobile internet companion, however in my use the iPod Touch has provided a better experience for my purposes. For the uber Linux pros out there, I'm sure the N810 is a wonderful device for you, but I suppose I was mislead into thinking it was a mobile companion and multimedia device.
In that case I think we're all out of luck
Seriously though, I kind of agree with the people above. Even though the original post is very well written, do we need more comparisons? For some people, the apple-products are going to be better, for some people, the nokia offerings are better.
They're all awesome pieces of technology that surpass everything I dreamt of as little as three or four years ago.

First, thanks for the post!
I must disagree with most NOKIA hardliners, but this kind of posts are necessary and also very useful. If you don't want to read them then don't! But exactly as the author wrote he is just a user not a developer.
And WE users have different priorities for the devices we use.
I also have another question for Benz145.
I'm in the exactly the same boat and I'm considering buying the ipod touch. The most important question for me is if there is an ebook reader for the device. I would greatly appreciate a screenshot of the ebook reader in landscape mode.
Thanks

Honest account of personal experiences with 2 comparable devices... CHECK
The "These devices are not comparable!" post... CHECK

I love these threads.
I'm just waiting for the N8x0 vs The MIU HDPC threads.

Even if you are saying they stole the idea, they did a good job improving upon it, they weren't too swelled up in their own pride to look over it and move on to something else.
The funny thing about these message boards is that we talk about Apple VS Nokia for some dumb reason.
Facts
Apple stole the idea "like always" of the NIT from Nokia.
Onboard keyboard stolen from Nokia N770
Area touch stolen from Nokia N770
Sad but true.

One of the most amazing features of the iPod and iPhone is the onscreen keyboard. The iTouch keyboard figures out your next key-press and actually enlarges the active area of the next logical letter. Its one of the most impressive onscreen keyboards out there. It behaves very differently as well, allowing you to hold one finger on the character key then slide over to the symbol in one swift stroke. You can talk about many things that the N810/N800 might do better but Apple's onscreen keyboard is practically genius. Look up some of the speed comparisons and it beats out much larger UMPC's in some cases.
Please please, try to be informed before ranting

Sorry for the wall of replies, I just popped my head in here to see that the thread had gone for 8 replies to 90+ overnight x_x.
