Again, I can neither confirm nor deny. All I can say is:

- it was my understanding the tablet would be platformed, meaning various iterations along a theme. My impression was that N810 validated this... but when the N800 was discontinued with no direct replacement, I began to doubt.

- I have no specific knowledge of the RX-71. In my last role I was responsible for keeping abreast of soon-to-be-released products but that one was apparently so far out that there was no info for me, and apparently not yet necessary for me to get involved. That was as of November 2008.

My sinking assessment as a nonNokian now is, based on the above, that Nokia is stumbling in the platforming area. There should be slight overlaps in replacement product releases, ie, the tail of one leads into the head of another. But for reasons beyond my comprehension, that has not happened with this device faimly. Out of respect for Peter I will stop there.
