Lol this thread is pretty derailed.
Everything is so messy on the N800/N810. Weak video support, terrible LCD controller, no PowerVR drivers, bad GPS lock on times, a browser that loses finger/stylus control on sites with javascript. Its just an unfinished and unpolished product even after 3 years of development.
Its very unfortunate, as the idea behind the IT is awesome and something with arguably lesser hardware (iTouch) comes in and makes it look really bad.
Apple took the time to build a proper platform with no video tearing, 3d drivers, awesome scaling webkit engine, PIM syncing, email that works and now an incredible sdk with big name developers. And this is all in ONE year, not three.
I hope Nokia sticks with it. They have the right idea with the easy tethering, big high res screen and open source software... but they are at least another year or two out from really creating an "everyday" product. I'll continue to follow the product line, as it got me interested in the idea of a pocket browser.
For some it sucks that the iPhone SDK is Mac OS X only, but its one of the best I've seen for a mobile platform. I am patiently waiting for an iMac update and I'll definitely be messing around then
