Drizek. I am puzzled......

I have an N800 and have no problems taking pictures, using a CDROM or portable HDD, watching Youtube or DVD videos, having videoconferences. I do wish at times that the screen were bigger, but that would lose the portability of the unit.

As for the NEXT unit from Nokia, IMHO, Nokia is a business that likes to make money. They have to balance the needs of their future customers against their need to protect the IP. I do not like the way they do it, but I respect it. When the 770 came out, I liked it but did not buy because the unit I borrowed was too useless, in my opinion. When the 800 came out, I waited several months before buying. It took a year to learn how to do everything I do with it. (Which is everything I do on my WinXP box.) I'm sure that in the depths of Nokia that there are a group of people that work on designing the next tablets and they are constantly bugging the higher ups with ; "Can I please just show a few of our enthusiests what we've done so far?" With the answer, when weighed against the IP is still, at the beginning of March, "No". (It hurts but this is a fact of life in business that has to be realized.)
