I hate to say it, but anyone who thinks this new Apple device will not kill the N800 is totally, completely wrong! Most users here are the hacker and enthusiast types. I am not. I am Mr. Average Consumer. I have owned an N779 and a N800 and would buy the Apple device instead of a NIT because even though the N800 theoretically can do more than the Apple, in reality for Mr. Average Consumer the N800 cannot do much at all and doesn't even do things it is supposed to be good at perfectly. Plus, no pda functions, no MS Word compatible word processor, no citrix, no real email. I know everyone always says that is not what the N800 was "meant" for and that it is an Internet Tablet, well guess what folks -Apple's device is going to kick the sh*t out of the N800 as far as browsing is concerned. Oh and using a cell phone with the N800 is no simple task, plus is dog slow so the mobility is not a real advantage for the N800. If Nokia wanted the NIT to survive it needed to make it into something that would really have differentiated it from the Apple device. Nokia will not be able to sell anymore IT devices after the Apple device hits the shelves. R.I.P. N800! It is over.
p.s. The Newton was the best pda ever made, but it died because it was ahead of its time and could not keep up.
