There is usually a way to get it to work, but it takes an effort. On my iphone, it either works or it doesn't. I think that a lot more stuff has been shoehorned into an iphone/ipod touch format in the last 6 months because of the popularity of those devices.

It's strange. sitting here I can't decide which device I prefer. I love my N800. The internet is crystal clear, the mapping software is great, the music players are great, it has GAMES. The Iphone though, is just so simple and user-friendly.

I've had my N800 for months, and my wife and my mother picked it up for ten minutes, got frustrated, and never touched it again. I can't get the iphone away from them.
I'm kind of having the same feeling here... Have a N800 since release and a iPhone for about 2 months. Im still stunned by the N800. Amazing what it can do. Awsome device! But the interface or the ease of use of the iPhone, it's just that easy.

What's my opinion:

Nokia N800 is the best internet device! (For me that's mainly at home / work, since i don't get it connected to other wifi's much of the time. But that'll probably be just me. I'm not a Linux expert, i'm a user.) Without Canola not much of a media player.

iPhone is a awsome media player so i guess the iPod touch is the same thing? No? Oke it also does internet. And I use it alot. But not as advanced or open as the N800. Thinking of stuff like uPnP, internet radio, RSS, ...

The devices towards other people: i'm having the same experiences. Nobody knows the N800 and they look at you as if you came from Mars. None of the people i know found intrest in the N800 or actually were able to do anything on it. But for the iPhone people just like to play with it. This is something Nokia and community should focus on. Ease of use for consumer market.
