Personally, I don't see any real point of comparison between PDAs and the Internet tablets, other than the fact they're portable electronic devices. You could just as easily draw parallels between the internet tablets and the iPod, and Apple did a superb job with the iPod.

I think the comparison with PDAs is a potentially limiting factor for the Internet tablets. I see from the video ad for the N810 that Nokia is working hard to get past this, although their method is to draw comparisons with a mobile phone.
