Man, I dunno about your iPod, but in a 5800 it is a problem. Not the accelerometer itself, mind you, but the way it "helpfully" rotates your screen. And I still do not understand how it is related to the smallish screen size planned for N900.

Well, its important to realize your position. If you're so dissatisfied with all this news development why not design your own hardware and enjoy all these nice people who make their demands and whine when you picked a path instead of simply looking at the good sides of the offer, or the other available offers?

Who told you I am dissatisfied? I am not married to Nokia, so why should I feel strongly about this stuff? In fact, I am cackling evilly at this very moment, enjoying the fact that things are going exactly as I predicted.

Uh, that implies nobody at t.m.e. wants to buy this device. Don't give yourself too much credit, aye?

Not giving any. First, I was not talking about wanting or not wanting to buy it, but simply of not being the "target audience" for the device. Secondly, notice that I have used "pretty much none of us". So, you've still got your ticket into the target audience lounge

5800 does not compete with N97 that much; they're aimed at different market segment. Kids can't pay for N97, but they can afford 5800.

Actually, it does, if you consider that many consumers (adults too) would rather save those extra $400.
