Yes, you are correct, Pocketability is in favor of the N800.
I own an N800 and I carry it everywhere.

As a Photographer, and many of my friends agree, I would rather show an image/video on a 7 inch display rather than a 4 inch display.

Also, for the same price as the N800, would you rather get more screen size and more cpu power, or accept less for the same price?

Maybe we will have to wait and see if the mass users will accept to carry a 7 inch PC.

But it all comes down to price, what will PC manufactures give me for the same price as a N800.

We've been down this path before here.

If I'm needing a screen that large, the heck with price: I'm buying one of those little Sony Vaios.

If I want something more portable, and yet with a more useful screen than my phone, then I take the N800.

The market will of course decide what form factors are acceptable, but I'm convinced that if you get any bigger than the N800, most people will make the quantum leap to at least a small laptop. That seemed to be the consensus the last time we hashed this subject over.

I think Nokia researched this issue well.
