By Nokia's own definition it is NOT an "internet tablet" it is a "mobile computer"
Nokia's PR department can call it what they want but it is a mobile phone and will be purchased, by and large, as such. i.e. subsidised by a network provider under a fixed term contract.

The decision potential customers will make is whether they prefer it to an iPhone, Palm Pre or whatever else that should be available.

Whoever did decide on it did so as a matter of taste, because there's no significant functional difference between a 3.6" screen and a 3.4" screen.
Maybe not but there is a significant difference between a 3.4" screen and a 4.3" screen. Generally speaking, the definition of an Internet Tablet that was pedantically debated on this forum overlapped with that of the Intel MID spec. which is clearly defined as regards the screen size.
