I think you misunderstood what I was saying.

I'm not saying that there's no demand for any such devices. I'm saying that there isn't enough demand/room for "yet another such device". Nokia left that market about 2 years ago, and trying to get back into it would be pointless. They don't offer anything (except to former N8x0 users) that would attract market share with such a device.

Between Archos and Apple, and a few others (including Linux based devices), I don't see there being much hope for Nokia to break in, offer value, and therefore win market share. If they had stayed in from the start, and played that market like they wanted to win it, sure. But they didn't. They pissed it away. And the gap that they left has been filled.
