If you talk about making phonecalls from the N800 by using a separate mobile phone, what's the point? Can't i just use the mobile phone in the first place?
Or are we talking about something else?

Ton.
it s adding cellular call capability directly and independently on the IT, and/ or the next version of the IT.

I totally ignore if the current IT has in its hw more hidden agenda than the FM radio receiver. I doubt.

I m not familiar with this word "layer" but this was the word used. My non specialist guess is that it means adding a new and essential function (ie: cell phone) that is modifying the concept of the device as a whole.

To reply to you last question: we are also talking about something else. There are other ways to add cell phone capability than having a SIM slot hidden or not :-)
