The N9 has a lot of those, if not all in place. But given the silence, the gap in announcements, (continued) jumbled communication (sorry, those YouTube vids plain suck) and terms that most folks don't even care about... the N9 has an uphill battle. Clear, concise, communication with the user seeing the benefit and ease-of-integration into their daily operations and folks might buy the N9.

If they feel as if they have to create yet another account, or install yet another piece of software, or they have to learn a new workflow that seems alien to them... they will not buy it. Nokia hasn't clarified anything so far about the N9 to the average consumer.

And I fear it will continue.
n900 failed because it is a brick and lack of potrait mode. the software wasn't ready and it wasn't able to be used one handed.

remenber the iphone have no ecosystem when its start it was practically a dumbphone, needed to be hacked.
but the brand power and marketing move it, i remember even jobs calling kinectic scrolling something revolutionary.

n9 fixes many of the issues its mass market device, it would have sold decently it elop didnt open his mouth
