I agree.

Anything that is brought up as a negative towards your precious tablet, you come up with an incredible (and oddly skewed) reason as to how they are wrong.

Obviously you haven't read my signature lately...

Oh, by all means go right ahead.

Wrong, otherwise you'd take the time to actually QUOTE me.

Wrong again. Go read Apple's actual support forums!

Now where the phuck did I EVER say that? I'm speaking from a strict business-to-business viewpoint.

I think I've already said many, many, many, many, many, many times that Nokia needs a kick in the jimmy when it comes to marketing.
Again, I must refer you to my signature...

About phucking time you did. Too bad that has NOTHING to do with your points above.

Did they teach reading comprehension in the schools you went to?
Obviously not because you would soon see where I although I do love the Nokia Internet Tablet line as it currently exists, Nokia has made a schitt-load of bumbles and errors in actually MARKETING the tablet.
Show me where Apple has done ANYTHING to promote free and open source software outside of giving away Xcode on the Mac OS X install DVD?
It's one thing to create great products, it's another to make developing for those products next to impossible. Nokia allows devs to freely code not only for the N800 but their S60 line of cell phones too.
Now look 5-10 years down the road...which company's devices are people going to want to code for?
The one with the free SDK. At the moment that's not Apple for all the dumbest reasons in the world. If "stability" issues were really the main reason Apple's not officially promoting third-party application development then why the phuck does no other phone manufacturer on the planet support that?
Don't even try to say it's because the iPhone is somehow more stable than any other cell phone on the planet because it's not. Even dedicated Apple fanboi Leo Laporte has said that his crashes/reboots every once in a while, particularly in the first few weeks he owned it. Other reports have been posted as well across the internet, not just on "blogs" but on Apple's own support forums.
