Then this isn't the device for you. Pocketability is the most important feature of this product line, this ruins that and turns the device into just another UMPC (of which there are plenty).

This simply isn't realistic without major increases in size (to accommodate a large battery) or major decreases in performance (to increase efficiency).

Hard disk isn't realistic for a device of this size and power usage. I'm 100% agreed on that.

I think what a lot of people overlooked about the loss of the 770's hardcover is that we got a badass kickstand out of the deal and, honestly, I'd much rather have that than a bulk-increasing, mildly useful hardcover.

A hardware keyboard is a waste of space, money, and time for me. I can type perfectly fine on the onscreen thumbboard, and losing the 2nd memory slot is not a good trade for a barely usable hardware keyboard. If you want a good keyboard, get yourself an iGo.

A laser-keyboard is bad idea. Some of us are touch-typists (not a hard skill to learn, and incredibly important in today's digital world), and would prefer to have a keyboard that actually works.

We pretty much have this now, we just need more support on the software end.

This is an N-series device, so it's a bit like asking McDonalds to give you a vegetarian cheeseburger—not gonna happen. Now, if we're talking about an E-series maemo device, go for it! (pupnik has since convinced me that product line diversification doesn't mean I'm going to have device envy no matter which one I buy )

There are a lot of reasons why this is a stupid idea (they've been beaten to death endlessly in this and other threads). So I'll limit myself to this: Please, dear god, no.

Both the File Manager and Media player support this natively, so I'm not sure why you're bringing it up. (There's even a UPnP server available, actually)

This may not be the product for you, then.
