Well they need to provide sources only to their changes to GPL stuff (if any). And only to customers who actually bought the device, not any random person on the net. If they simply took N800 box from Nokia and added their proprietary application, they can just point to Nokia repositories. Even documentation that comes with the device should be enough (both Control panel->About and Nokia printed manuals).
Right on!

I wouldn't have bought the dang thing if I couldn't purchase and use proprietary code on it.

It was just a matter of time before companies realized the hardware capabilities of the tablets...

I expect even more products like this in the near future.

Also kudo's on the statement...

I couldn't agree more.
