Thanks for your comments.

There is a history and context here that fairly suggests what is considered by the existing customerbase to be a "good" mobile computing user experience. I hope there there will not be a shift in the criteria for determining what is good from the existing customers that bought NITs (and who thus leaned towards one solution) to those other "people" that are generally leaning towards different solutions?

Not to rehash the discussion, but there is a lot that could be done to improve user experience without changing those aspects that distinguish the NITs from other devices. At launch, it won't merely be a matter of whether or not the user experience is then "good" and, if so, all changes are justified. The applicable questions and reasoning for some of us will be whether there was a recognizable updating or progression/evolution of the solution embodied by the NITs to remove identified deficiencies in the predecessors, or whether some of the known and existing distinguishing aspects of the NITs were instead removed in the direction of other solutions "that people are leaning towards".
