I'm sorry, but if I buy another tabletpc, I think it would be x86 compatible and/or a UMPC.
I don't want to be a laboratory rat for Nokia.
I think there were common misconceptions what the 770's scope was when it was introduced, and assumptions on the other side that purchasers understood this was a "test the waters" device. Of course, those are all assumptions on my part as well.

And not to excuse anything on anyone's part, but it should IMO be readily understood by purchasers that a first-generation device with significant deviations from the status quo (as the 770 was) is anything BUT a polished product, and will very likely be replaced by something very different.
