I'm looking forward to a review of my Dell laptop, starting with checkmarks summarizing its faults, such as:

Fits in pocket? NO
Holds Sim chip? NO
Syncs with desktop computer? NO
Choice of ringtones? NO
I don't think people are used to the thought of a pocket computer yet. It needs to have a better purpose than "Internet Tablet"

Transitional devices like the iPhone aren't even totally accepted. Lots of people get excited by it, but then I show it to others and they just say "I don't need email, web and music in my PHONE".

Its really interesting to get an outside (non-geek) perspective. I'm sure it will get there when the platforms are ready with the right applications. When a company puts out a device and says, "It does THIS really well" and a user can pick it up and say, "Hey sweet I can get my work done on this and browse the web" it will sell. Document editing, syncing and constant connectivity will help with that transition.

Because seriously, if the focus of the IT was on something else and it provided the same internet experience all the reviews would be stellar. While the web browser on the N8x0 is awesome, it pales in comparison to a desktop.

"The new Nokia N810 provides excellent Microsoft Office compatibility on a gorgeous 4.1" 800x480 screen, while providing a best in class web browser based on the popular Firefox. You can get all your work done, keep in touch with your friends on your favorite instant messenger or social website and when you're done, it fits in your front pocket!"

There would be no question of "whats the point of this tablet?"
