I reckon the "Classic" iPods are living on borrowed time. Once Flash memory is available in larger capacities such as 64GB, which should be feasible within 12-24 months time, the mechanical hard drive iPods will be history. Apple had no choice but to maintain two iPod lines while it transitions from mechanical to solid state.

That starts word-of-mouth campaign that all the PR money in the world can't buy.
To be fair to Nokia, they did just that. It wasn't just developers that received discounted N800s, but also those who have been active in Bugzilla filing and commenting on bugs.
