I miss Brontide. I learned a lot from him (you) early on when I first got into this Tablet thing.

I have to agree at least from a business perspective: Nokia blew an early lead. My girlfriend, who's smart and capable but not at all a geek, swapped an N800 for an iPod Touch, and it's much easier, more useful, and more fun for her.

I'm willing to screw around to take advantage of the things that my N800 can do. But it seems to me Nokia could have satisfied the type of people on this forum (and while we certainly aren't clones of one another, to a degree we are "a type") and the much larger group of potential users out there who just want an Internet Tablet that works well for a pretty obvious list of things. (Easy surfing, PIM, podcasts, music, ... you know the list, pretty much, even if we wouldn't have perfect Venn overlap.)

Brontide, I wish you would come back.
