The multimedia experience is NOT superb. There is no media management, and video is sub-par. The built in media player is adequate at best, and Canola needs to be installed to give a decent front end.

You buy an iPod Touch and its very straight forward, you fill up iTunes and it syncs down automatically. You can purchase movies and music, subscribe to podcasts and its sync'd. That is what end users need, they are not technical like us.

I love the N810... they keyboard has transformed this device for me, as I like to IM heavily. These are just my thoughts on helping it go mass market
I agree, just pointing out that the marketing should point to what the device is designed for, and that simply adding an office suite doesn't necessarily make it a stellar device all of a sudden. There are people out there (such as myself) that don't really use office docs at all, be it word, excel, or powerpoint, and find the N810/OS2008, in its current form, more than perfect for 'getting work done' and media usage.

I still don't think the Tablets should have been lumped in with Nseries, nor Eseries, for that matter. It almost feels like they looped into the successful one just to take advantage of the marketing, which somewhat backfired, as is apparent in this thread and nearly every review.
