I think it's worth noting that most radios are based in your home and mains operated, or if they are portable have long battery life (months on "standby", days in use). Portable FM radios are also extremely small.

PDAS, cellphones, cameras and internet tablets are all things that you need outside your home, and they are all power hungry and require frequent charging. Therefore there is a desire for combinatorial devices that reduce the amount you have to carry and the maintenance requirements of charging etc.

Also, what technological functionality does the N800 lack to be a (n amazing) PDA? Answer = none. It just needs the software. Hence the desire to see that functionality integrated in. And the more it can push the boundaries with a laptop / tablet PC, the better.

Still, I am the proud orderer of an N800 and I hope I can use it as a replacement for my old Palm. But I'd just love it if Nokia went all out to make it a PDA replacement for one thing, because no hardware in it would have to change.

Oh, and hi all
