Are you all saying that Nokia has shipped close to 17 million N8x0 devices? Or that they have mass market appeal/presence?

If not then the specific line in the article is accurate.

The NIT is not unknown and the author does not say so any more than he/she says that IPAQs do not exist. They are simply stating a fact. The iphone is a mass market device and can arguably be called a MID (depending on who's looking).

We all know that the N8x0 is still under development by Nokia and so, while advertised is not meant specifically for mass consumption.

I don't know whether those other operating systems have more apps, but do they have more apps that the average user uses?
