OK, point taken. I misunderstood your original posting

I read on Ari's blog that the Internet tablet team really does take into account criticism, although usually only those from mainstream reviewers and not lesser individuals, like bloggers. This is both good and bad -- the N800 was by all accounts better than the 770 (apart from, perhaps, the ergonomics), and most improvements people requested were implemented (mainly better performance and stability). But enough reviewers moaned about the N800 not having a keyboard that Nokia added one to the N810 -- rather blindly, IMHO.

As I said above, one of Apple's strengths is the ability to spot mistakes and opportunities, and fix/implement them, even if that means a product line evolves into something else (such as the iPod line, which evolved into a phone and is currently, arguably, evolving into an internet tablet).

Nokia's problem may be that it is sticking to its original brief for an Internet tablet and only responding to criticism of their implementation of that brief, rather than responding to criticism of the brief itself. Lots of people have given constructive criticism of the tablet concept but, really, the N810 is a clone of the 770 with some additional features, and the 770 was produced in the isolation of a lab. Obstinacy does nobody any good. It may well kill Nokia's internet tablet.
