Sarcasm noted - and I sort of deserved it - but you don't just hear about stuff online. TV/Press/Billboards; the traditional media are the ones that have the big reach in forming opinions. I know that won't always be the case, or even for very much longer, but the *only* place I have seen or heard the N900 mentioned in any sort of official capacity is online.

Mind you, I'm biased.
not biased at all..
here in finland the n900 was referred as "iphone killer" by the newspaper and then after that... nothing.

one of the good things with apple is that they make their devices to appear a lot more cool than they actually are. Example? No cut and paste is a feature. Just under a lot of pressure they will gobble up and put this "amazing new feature that lets you actually copy from one side and paste to the other"... Ridiculous. :mad:

Nokia should do the same... The ads are great and are targeting a wide audience already. The "offline as it happens" took giggles out of my wife and the "journey starts here" was praised by my geek friends... So what are they waiting for?!

Its about time...

Even motorola (that company that was selling their breakfast so it could afford to have lunch) made a teaser about droid... And a very good one. I got interested in the droid just because of the cool ads like droid does and the cartoon-ish ones...

iirc, its verizon, not motorola, that's doing the droid pushing.

and apple makes for good attention grabber, thanks to its long term evangelical fans (and just as many anti-fans). And with attention follows ad sales.

so slap a apple related headline on any ad laden page, and watch the page views and money flow...

I've thought for a while an n900 would be better than an eee for this application:

It has 2 cameras built in, so doesn't need the extraneous webcam, has an accelerometer based snse of balance and has python support out of the box...
