It also opens the doors for competitors who're making similar products to snatch people away with something newer and better when those consumers would otherwise have waited for the same brand. I'm actually still pretty hopped up on that Pandora ever since someone pointed it out to me. Considering I haven't seen an official anything from Nokia about anything similar or competitive, I would easily pick one up as soon as it comes out.

Mind you--I'm also the type of gadget dork that would buy that AND the new Nokia just because I like to play with everything. I keep mentioning my Palm Tungsten T5 which I've had since 2004--still have it.. rarely still use it but still have it. Palm hasn't released a true update/upgrade from the T5 in all this time. Sure, they put out the TX but it was the same thing with a black plastic body and built-in wifi (I had to buy a wifi SDIO card for mine) only with a slower processor and no more extra built-in flash memory. The only NEW things they've released since are Treo phones and the Centro.. which I'm not really interested in because I abhor combining my portable computer with phone company radios.

At least there's the rumor mill, here. It helps a little, but only a little.
