Except of course that if they had delivered an HSPA version at the point where they were ready to deliver the WiMAX one (almost a year ago, wasn't it?), then they'd have been not just the first "MID"/IT out, but the first MID/IT with HSPA.

Right now, MIDs are coming out, and they have HSPA options. Which means everyone who wants a persistently connected MID is going to buy a non-Nokia MID/IT. By the time Nokia delivers their HSPA version, that ship will probably have sailed.

It is my prediction that Nokia has basically given up its leading edge on the MID/IT market, which will in turn mean that they have lost the MID/IT market.
