its not about what other device can play youtube from the main site, what other device has 3 browsers etc.
its what the N800 is marketed as. It is an Internet Tablet. By that, what would a regular joe interpret that as? A device that can browse the internet, get emails, do IM and Skype. Let's just drop the other PIM stuff for a second. So does the ITT do all those well? That's the big question. If it does it well enough and cheap enough and the regular joe finds that useful and buys it, then fine. Problem is, there's mobile phones, pda etc that also claim to do the same things, albeit with different degrees, some better, some worse. So, the regualr joe will think many times before getting an ITT from a mobile phone provider (who claims that the ITT has no mobile phone features). Its getting that change of mindset. I think Nokia still has a way to go to convince the regular joe before the ITT can become mainstream. Its taking the steps, but is it fast enough? By the end of 2007, I have a feeling that there will be an answer, for better or worse.
