Odd that this should be happening. Whatever the case may be, I hope they stick with the platform. I think the N800s have a lot of potential in the commercial space, especially in areas like retail (imagine a sales assistant being able to do an item lookup for you, show you an image of the item, locate stores that have it in stock, and then you being able to make a reservation for the item, all in the span of 5 minutes) - a Windows Mobile device could do it, but then again, Windows Mobile devices aren't anywhere as cool as NiTs.

If Nokia were smart, they would start making this available as an option in the enterprise market segments, or at better prices to people implementing this in various environments. The N800 has a lot of unrealised promise, and at the right price point (something that Nokia needs to work on), they could have a volume seller on their hands.

Once prices fall, I can see people snapping this up. I know I will probably get a couple of units, and if I can find an investor, perhaps consider 50 to 100 units for the motorsport application I am working on -- it makes an excellent all-in-one system (PMP, GPS Navigation, Motorsport Performance Analytics, Mobile Internet Device, etc) at a very fair price (sub-$300)

Ideally, I would like to customize the UI into something more like Canola, which would make the overall user experience that much less complex. But first things first
