The N810 is indeed overpriced, but already you can find it for $410, and for a brand new device out around xmas time it's pretty reasonable. Higher profile things like the Wii are actually more expensive this year than last--just because people are willing to pay that much. Gamers get their wallets raped unfairly and don't even have something really new to show for it. The N810 is overpriced by maybe $50-$100 (at the most), which I can totally deal with considering it won't create any extra monthly costs and should reduce my use of a desktop and celphone.

The N810 is the first time I've even considered paying the premium for a brand new device, and I jumped on it; I don't think I'll be disappointed (it's in the mail). I was drooling over the high powered HTC Shift and that Fujitsu UMPC but didn't even consider opening my wallet for their ~$1000 crazy pricetags. They're powerful but not very well thought-out or balanced, and they're clearly aimed at people with too much money who just want to try things out.

To me, the N810 neatly invented a spot for itself between those laptop-replacements and far less useful PDA's that lack a keyboard or an open OS.

(Sorry for the OT discussion, but it's freezing here and I've got to waste time somehow.)
