Multi-touch vs multi-tasking - which is more important?

You know my views - yes I would happily take both but if I have to choose then there's no contest.

if "Fair usage" means "strictly limited to 1G, no voip, no instant messaging, no whatever we don't like today", isn't really unlimited, is it?

I thought the same. But it's unlimited until they decided you went too far.
So far I'm using it intensively and they didn't complain yet.

Pardon me for not clearifying that I was talking about multitouch screens, not touchpads.

The new Nokia netbook has 3G/HSPA built-in - what a surprise!

If it's a computer and its portable then built-in cellular radio is now a minimum requirement :cool:

Seriously though it looks pretty sweet - they will sell a lot of these through and subsidised by the wireless operators - no more stupid dongles.

Back on topic - when will Eldar post his N900 Q&A?

I have to say, that's an unusually-compelling (and slick) ad for a Nokia product...lol. Wonder if it will air on US television.

And that 3G sounds nice, but if there's no SIM slot and 850Mhz radio, it's useless for me... but as long as it can bluetooth-connect to a phone that's cool.

This may be a stupid question, but is there 3G/WCDMA devices without a SIM slot?

Actually the proper question is multitouch vs stylus. I wouldn't give up stylus just for a (probable) 0,1% of usability increase in zooming.

Sorry, as this is off topic to this thread, but in response to Texrat:

Not sure about 850MHz (has anyone found an FCC filing?), but the Nokia Booklet is said to have a "hot-swappable" SIM slot. I think 850 is a safe bet, as T-Mobile might be looking at launching a few devices. Just speculation, but we'll find out in a week or so.

According to engadget.com it has hot swappable sim capabilities.

"Nokia recommends Windows"

That just made an already grey morning a little greyer.
