As an owner of both devices, I thought I'd throw my two cents in on the discussion. I personally use the Touch much more, despite wanting to like and use the N810. There are several reasons I like the Touch, first off, for my use the interface is so much better, I really like being able to navigate, scroll etc. with one hand. 2nd, the internal storage of 32 GB makes a HUGE difference to me. I can carry my entire music library, my PIM info, several ripped movies, and photos with me and not have to think about swapping cards, or having to delete and add media to the device. The smaller size is also a plus, it's hardly noticeable in my pocket.

Earlier someone asked about watching feature length movies, they look great on the Touch, the wider aspect ratio of the touch's screen makes up for a lot of the difference in size, you can watch most movies full screen with very little clipping. For the N810 you'll be watching a letter boxed movie.

The OSK of the Touch is surprisingly good when typing standard text. They have done a fantastic job on with the auto-correct feature. I have no complaints with the N810 keyboard, but I can type as fast on the Touch as I can on the N810. However, for entering of form information, web sites etc. the hard keyboard of the N810 is still superior.

The Touch is missing bluetooth and this is a big negative. I've added a very small external bluetooth adapter for connection to my bluetooth headset, so that in itself isn't much of an issue. However, not having bluetooth for internet access is a negative. Thankfully, I have WiFi on my phone and can use it as an access point for the Touch, but truth be told that is not a very efficient use of battery life for either device.

Regarding internet performance - both render web pages at about the same speed, the N810 may even be a little faster until you get 2 or 3 pages open, but I have had issues with the N810 slowing to a crawl with more than that open, and haven't experienced that with the Touch. I do like the rendering options on the N810 and find the 800 x 480 resolution to be a great fit for mobile browsing. However, when it comes time to navigating within open web pages, it's no comparison. The Touch makes it so easy to scroll, zoom, etc. It just happens naturally, quickly and easily. I find the N810 a bit a pain for scrolling. The D-Pad just doesn't work well for me, and have to scroll with the stylus also is pretty lame. I think this is why the Touch "seems" faster, you get to the information you want quicker because you aren't fighting the interface to get there, you just flick your finger and there it is.

The email program on the Touch is just better, it works out of the box with no tweaking, third party apps, etc.

I like the ability to install third party apps on the N810, and wish the Touch could have come with at least one or two games. However, for a non-Linux user like myself, it took a bit of reading on forums such as this to figure out how to find and install several of the third party apps on the N810. Even now, sometimes I get a "library not installed" message when attempting to install a program from some repositories. I just find the install app install experience on the tablet a bit lacking for someone who is used to finding an install program, copying it to a device and running it.

I owned the N810 before the Touch, and if it had been really meeting my needs I wouldn't have invested the additional $$ in the Touch, and no I'm not a Mac Fanboy, I don't own a Mac and I HATE iTunes, it's one of the most frustrating pieces of software I've ever owned. It's just that the Touch works better for my needs.

I think many of you would be surprised at how useful the Touch is as an on-the-go internet/media device if you gave it a try. But I doubt it will ever offer the same level of flexibility as far as programs are concerned that you find on the N810. I think it comes down to what is important as an end user and what you are comfortable with. I really don't think that it's fair to say either of these devices is the end all, be all for everyone.
