Please, no. If I wanted a gaming device, I'd get a DS; a business PDA, I'd get a Palm; a PMP, I'd get an Archos, but I don't want any of those things, I want an N800--a Linux computer that fits comfortably in your pocket and will do nearly anything a laptop will do at a small fraction of the size, cost and inconvenience of a laptop. Nokia needs to focus on making the hardware fast (and efficient!) enough, and the software robust enough to suit almost any mobile computing situation. Product-line specilization will only degrade that goal (especially since I want to do all 3 things on my device).

That sort of abstraction seems like more of a software issue, anyway, which basically means you're crippling each device individually and reducing overall sales compared to a jack-of-all-trades device.

Aside: anybody else notice that text entry on the new browser is really buggy?
