True, true. I was aware of the new (as of 10/29/07) Gizmo support for the camera. However, I think you're proving my point somewhat, since it took about 10 months between the release of the N800 and the *first* true communications extension of the camera beyond taking low-res photos.

It's compounded by the fact that for a device touted as having "Internet calling with web camera" (on Nseries.com), it still doesn't do either of the two most expected out-of-the-box experiences for that promise: Skype video, or the Flash camera APIs. Now, some fault lies with the magazines and reviewers not making this limitation clear (e.g., http://www.laptopmag.com/Review/Noki...net-Tablet.htm), but this more so a symptom of advertising features that do not hold up to user expectations and common practices, which I was originally commenting on.

And re: Texrat's comment -- Yeah, Nokia is being Nokia, which to American eyes looks slow and safe. But if you're Nokia, I'm sure that's preferable to the alternatives, since I just looked at the Gizmodo gallery (http://gizmodo.com/photogallery/intelumpcpepces) for the Intel MIDs at CES, and the reality is that most of them will fail, or at least languish. I think the 20% model sounds great, tho', it's reminiscent of Google's product development philosophy... yet it only makes me wonder why it's not here already even more, as betalabs.nokia.com seems to be serving that purpose just fine for the handsets.
