Straw man is exactly how I called it as well, hence the slightly cynical tone of my posts.

This is where the arguer builds something up so they can win a cheap point, examples on this thread:

1) What other device can run Maemo?

2) What device has Garnet VM and a FM transmitter??

3) What device uses last years technology (resistive) + is powerful by today's standards + has a hardware keyboard???

The real question might be which manufacturer would want/strive for the above?
