Holy smokes, that is a lot of money. I will want one bad, but will probably have to wait for the price to come down about 9 months before I could justify getting one. Over $1000, yikes!
I almost guarantee you he took the euro number and converted it to US dollars... and now he decided to think it was euros again without converting. As incredibly expensive as US $780 already is for a tablet, it doesn't need to exaggerated.
Not sure about future products, but around here the N810 did (does ?) cost roughly as much euros as it did dollars. Hopefully that means 550$ and not 780E
I don't get all this fuss about multi-touch. Yes, it can be exploited to bring some nice features, but I don't see how it is that much mandatory.
especially on a mobile device like a phone: you need to be able to use a phone's features with only one hand. i don't see how this would work with multi-touch.

Well, from simply easy zooming in ovi maps or in browser to having games with no d-pad, multi-touch is what makes a big difference in usability. I know many people would want to only use mainly the phone capabilities, but also many people want gaming, easy browsing and easy maps navigation.
Then there are applications on iPhone that ppl want them ported to maemo, but they need also UI re-design if for the multi-touch gestures buttons or scroll bars need to occupy the screen for zooming and other things achieved easily with multi-touch.

It's the iPhone lookalike requirement. Anything the iPhone has or does, you need to have, too. It doesn't matter how it fits your platform/applications/hardware. You know, 'everything is better with lasers'.

Nokia would put multi-touch but they can't.
Because it is a patent of Apple. I don't know how Palm Pre got it...
Multi-touch is over rated. Quick, one-handed navigation is my requirement for my device. I spent some time with the Palm Pre and navigation was super easy with one hand with quick thumb gestures to do what I needed to do. I was thoroughly impressed until I opened Google Maps and it required multi touch to zoom. I was actually irritated that I had to use two hands to zoom. I'd rather have faded + and - buttons on the screen for zooming.
