The cry for disk space you can see back as well; with a 32 GB on-board. That might be the best of both the N800 and N810 SDs options. But I believe the development of N900, N97, and other touchscreen devices is somewhat paralel. One reason is because they all share some similarities (including TV out, touchscreen, ..). But also because of this news.

Before the N97, there had already been a mid-ranged Symbian S60 model with the compass called the 6210 Navigator. Sorry; its a commody feature that, like TV-Out and 5mpx cameras, will be diffused throughout Nokia's lineup to enable connectivity to services that would best take advantage of such hardware.

Applets, or widgets, have been a main part of Symbian S60 since FP1; and pushed quite heavily with the Widsets initiative months ago.

The touchscreen is similar, but the usability of it is where it draws some from the lessons of Maemo, that's about it.
