Well, I think the most important thing Nokia needs to do, if it plans to keep producing the Internet tablet, is lower the price point. New, lower-priced, Atom-based UMPCs that very much resemble the N810 are coming out. The AIGO MID, meant for the Asian market, went on sale in Hong Kong this week for slightly under $700 USD and is already available on Ebay for $759. The size is only slightly larger than the N810, but there's a lot more power under the hood; it's got an external antenna port to connect a GPS antenna. The Gigabyte, another Atom-based UMPC that resembles a slightly larger N810 is due out this year, too. Although these units are being released with variations of Linux, they're powerful enough to run about any flavor of desktop Linux. So, there's competition on steroids moving in to the block and I think it's essential that Nokia lower it's price point.
