I jumped ship and got an iPhone in the end. It does everything I want day-to-day and the interface gives you so much satisfaction (everything works, it's responsive and looks nice). Plus my old iPod was broken.

Still, my parents decided to go for an N810 to take travelling with them on my recommendation. I still think the tablets take some beating as travel devices, but the N770 experience put me off Nokia products for domestic use because they ditched support far too soon.

I'm still not sure if Nokia knows what its target market is for these devices are. Here's my take:

Internet tablet = travel gadget

1) Skype
2) Internet browsing (for banking, emails, blogging, flickring etc)
3) E-book reading
4) Hub (connecting digital camera to in order to transfer pictures onto USB HD)
5) Videos & Picture viewing (from Digital Camera)
6) Bluetooth send/receive (sharing on the go)
7) Games (SCUMMVM etc)
8) Sat Nav
9) Music

*This is in my order of preference.

Unfortunately Nokia doesn't seem to know what they have. Ummm, it's an Internet Tablet - does that actually mean anything to non-techs?

The above features "should" make the IT marketable...people would know its strengths and Nokia could concentrate on making it do the above as well as possible (and without using the words form-factor, although size is key).
