I am a little puzzled by your numbers, actually. I just tested Facebook in MicroB and it took 43 seconds from hitting the Login button to the completion of my home page. I wonder why it is faster for me?

Again, however, your ordinary user isn't going to just realise they should search these forums for "Tear".... Nevertheless, I'm seeing a lot that still rules out "normal" users, and for the more advanced folk, I'm still concerned that Nokia isn't really sure what they want to do with the tablets themselves. If they are, they're not really doing a good job showing it as far as I can see. (And feel free to prove me wrong... I want that excuse to buy shiny N810 goodness.)
Tear is still in beta testing, but I don't think it will be that way for much longer, and then it will be easy to find in Extras, along with all the other great stuff in there.

I'm sorry if I sounded harsh or something...

I agree fully with your overall point that the current tablets aren't really for your "normal," average user. I just thought some of your particular points weren't really fair.

I also agree that the tablets were (relatively speaking) a marketing "flop". Nokia didn't know how to market them, and they really didn't do a great job aiming for any particular user group.

I seriously hope that will change with the new device. All indications are that it will.
