Nokia wants you to buy a Nokia smartphone as a companion to the N8xxx I think. Certainly both Ari and others in management have argued that 'there's PIM on the smartphone so you don't need it on the tablet' -- which is of course rubbish almost whichever way you turn it. We're also lots of folks here on ITT who think that the ideal companion to the N8xx isn't a large expensive smartphone, but a small cheap network-enabled non-smartphone.

Anyway, I'm totally in line with those of you arguing that 1) we need _proper_ PIM apps (at least calendar and contacts), and 2) GPE is nowhere near e.g. Palm functionality.

(I'm still looking at the genecash calendar app -- at least it seems to have all possible incarnations of scheduling options. It's Python so shouldn't take long to get into OS2008 either.)
