I totally agree with the postings above from tbutler and fpp. I could write lots & lots but the key point is that the way Nokia has dropped 770 users is making me really hesitate about buying an N800. The internet is a moving target - flash, AJAX, etc. Unlike a PDA, an internet tablet which is not upgraded will, over time, be able to access fewer & fewer web sites.

I work in the CE industry and realistically either the cost of new versions of Opera & Flash is allowed for in the sale price of the product or they won't happen. Nokia clearly didn't plan / budget for browser / flash updates for the 770. Ari's most recent blog doesn't make me optimistic that they have been planned for the N800. He says "However, our goal is to make Internet Tablets as interoperable with internet services as possible. " On the surface this sounds good but he doesn't mention maintaining this compatibility for a 2-3 year lifetime of the device. Opera in the N800 is already one version out of date. How out of date will it be in 1 years time?
