Note the following point in LinuxDevices Article
Asked whether Nokia might also consider adding a cellular radio chip to its Linux-based Internet tablet in the future, Jaaksi replied, "It's more a business model than a technology barrier."
If nokia Embeds a mobile chip what is going to happen my predictions are
1. Iphone will be killed
2. Nokias all other phone models (Especially N series will not sell)
3. May be it can cost around 400$
4. If mass market arrives it will be less than 300$ or even 200$
5. May be they can also add GPS to it but it will kill their own navigation kit costing 250$ so they will not do it.
The point 2 is why nokia is fearing about N800
Why cant any other company try to build N800 with GPS and Mobile chip
Openmoko v2 (with wifi) is somewhere near but screen size makes it unusable
Some suggestions to nokia:
Nokia 770 for just 130$ can act as a very good mp3 player and Mp4 player .
Who needs ipod nano and cowon or archos ..The problem is they are not marketing them, fearing sales on Nseries. Please market it as a Entertainment device to get at least some market share of PMPs.
N800 is extendable .this can replace 30gb ipods and all other similar players
Add wimax to N800 and also facilitate it to work as a wimax router to that current laptops and desktop will work when connected to n800 .In this way you can create more market.
Please add your suggestions as well also comment on my predictions
