EDIT: okay, a disclaimer-- Linux may not be obvious to most purchasers at first blush. But I don't understand anyone who buys a product like this without understanding it to a reasonable extent, doing comparison shopping, etc. I just don't.
TiVo, Panasonic set-top boxes, Archos PMP's, D-Link DM320, and the Kindle all run linux and are targeted at consumers. Linux is not the issue here, Nokia's QA is.
