Saying the touch is not a tablet because of its "stripped down browser" is either just semantics or just stupid. People use it to surf the web, get info and entertainment off the internet, read e-books, etc.

tissot, your idea of Nokia "making the other gadgets obsolete" is proved silly (at least in this era) by the fact that the late-comer touch is outselling the iPhone.

Not everybody needs an 8-cylinder SUV; plenty of people are satisfied with a little passenger car.
You are missing the poimt. ipod touch may be going great guns now but the days of a wifi only device is coming to an end. Once the new and improved symbian OS (solid browsing, apps, camera etc) hits cheap Nokia phones, it will displace the ipod touch and similar devices just as most music phones are fast displacing the iPod. The Nokia 5800XM is now the top selling music player here in the UK proving that converged devices is the way to go.

However LTE/Wimax may turn my thery on its head but lets wait and see.

Dont worry about Nokia, they know what they are doing just grossly underestimated. Those finns are quiet and placid but DEADLY - see how they will thrash Apple with patents.

Happy new year.
