Quotes like that blow my mind.

No they're not.
Oh please, just read the respective websites:

www.apple.com/ipodtouch:
  • Music, videos, photos and websites....
www.nokia.com/N800:
  • Easy access to web
  • Wi-fi connectivity
  • Internet Calling with web camera
  • Enjoy music and video
  • Instant messaging & email

Ignoring the Internet calling, both lists amount to the same thing. IM & email are widely available as web apps so let's not split hairs on that point.

It's not a case of what any of us think they are, it's what the manufacturers are marketing the devices as.

I'll be honest, I'm a bit disappointed with my N800, it hasn't lived up to my expectations. Just about all the applications I really want it to do are flawed - no, hold on, the FM Radio's neat. However, I am prepared to hang in there and file the bug reports but Nokia should really step up to the mark to support the best of the community developments.
