I think a lot of people are clouded mainly because of the 'camp' they belong to. Unless a PPC, Palm OS, smartphone, OQO, etc. user is open to other devices and platforms, they will be loyal to their investment and would usually say that their device can do the same thing.

You made a good point here Mike. While other devices can do the same thing, the Nokia 770 just has an 800-pixel-wide screen running a close-to-standard browser -- and that's the main difference.
