The point was not comparing PDAs to the IT (of which Palm skewed the real meaning of a PDA), but the fact that Apple could not get the right mix of hardware and software until it was too late. Palm had overtaken Newton sales by a fair amount when the Messagepad 2000 came out. Judging from the number of threads complaining about the N810, it is obvious that Nokia still haven't got it right either. And having incompatibility issues with OS 2008, the software is not quite there either.

My point is that I think Nokia are on to something special (as did Apple with the Newton), but if Nokia take too long with getting from 3 to 5, the Intel MIDs may make a big enough splash to make the IT an also-ran.
