Well said. But let's be honest, even the NITs can't run 800x480. Video anyone? Although, that's the difference between Apple and the NITs. Apple may not always be bleeding-edge with features, but the Apple stuff just works, and well.

And if you think the multitouch is the only difference, you haven't used an iPhone or iPod Touch. I own an iPhone and a NIT. Apple's video, responsiveness and screen are on a "Ferrari"-level. I like the stylus alright, but the way multitouch works, it's just too much of a pain to have to reach for the stylus. The finger is such a natural way to interact with the screen once you're used to it. (Like my ThinkPad trackpoint - never had one before, now I never use my touchpad)

I have both devices sitting next to me. If I need to check weather, email, surf, which one do I reach for? People here don't wanna know.

By the way, a little jailbreak and there are hundreds of FREE apps available - in the Apple AppStore too - only some cost money, and most pay apps would blow a NIT away. I'm not being a fan boy - just setting the record straight on that.
