Well not to start an argument, but efficient and integrated note taking isn't high on the priority list for many people who simply want a device to surf the web, play a few games, listen to music, maybe do some emails and chats. Fer instance... the device about which this thread is discussing - the enthusiastic commenters over there - for the most part - aren't 'power users', 'developers', sys admins or what not.
Frankly for all this rabble rabble about getting Word document and spreadsheet functionality, PIM suites and even advanced notetaking apps on the tablets, sure there's a market for that but if I'm gonna edit documents and do spreadsheets... sorry, I'm using an actual laptop, not a 4" screen and tiny keys. For people like me, tablets like the N800, and this $200 web browser - dare I say even an iPhone - aren't productivity tools, they are leisure devices.
I think that's something that Nokia 'gets' about it's tablets, that is oft overlooked by people here.
