Look guys, dont be angry with me jusy because you love a device that is simply a NICHE and I come along proposing ways to make it a mass market device with a broader appeal.

Sure you are linux zeolots, I am also. I use linux along with Oracle to make a very good living everyday. However I do not want to tinker with linux it at home while browsing the web or making a cellphone call or giving one to my kids to stay in touch.

I want a device for this purpose to have a UI layer where in affect I have no idea its linux, symbian, WinMobile.

Anyway, the writing is on the wall already. N8XX is going to change to a cellphone or it will die. You'll be able to keep your existing N8XXsince no one is going to come around and make you hand it over. However like my old Apple Newton, the N8XX will be frozen in time insofar as support and new apps go.

Sorry. And dont shoot the messenger.
