I find all of the above completely ridiculous. Shouldn't it be a fair deal to point out that comparing a bicycle to a lawnmover, or a tractor to a sports car doesn't make sense? Which, by the way, is completely different from comparing wives to supermodels, as they are actually the same 'species' so to speak. So the N800 is slower than a desktop PC. So what? Why even compare? People pointing out this fallacy should be called 'comparison police' in your opinion? So the N800 is slower than what you expected when you bought it? Well, what was the reference of the original expectation then? A PC? People will rightly point this out to be wrong. A laptop? Ditto. Or was it simply not being aware of the current state of the art of portable, small ARM-based devices? People should be free to point this out too. Still not happy? Then you'll just have to wait for another turn of the wheel called Moore's law.
