When Reggie started ITT, the 770 was the device du jour and a tiny handful of people even knew it existed. I remember very well what it was like-- the 770 was my "baby" at the time and I was heavily involved here when I helped launch the N800. I saw how quickly the site caught fire.

Reggie built on whatever momentum there was at the time, same as someone else would now. There would be little if any real difference. And as I noted, umpcportal.com exists now, anyway, and already supports Nokia devices including the N9.
