PDA functionality isn't constrained to form factor; Nokia met that form factor on their first try, the 770. With all the developers out there, why has nobody created a decent software suite? I realize there's a lot of stuff to take into account, but I find it absolutely bizarre it hasn't been done in the community... and by 'done', I mean 'done well'.
So far as Nokia not doing it themselves... they've eluded to it in comments of their 5 step program. They're banking on the future, it's a wired world and eventually we *will* be interconnected everywhere. The lessons they learn by 'reserving' their place in that upcoming market will be ones everyone else will be scrambling to catch up on. Everyone from this point onward will be imitators, not innovators in the internet tablet game. Officially sponsoring PDA functionality will make the N810 a PDA... an already overcrowded market.
Except Apple. Anything Apple does, no matter how similar to others, is 100% original and looks good in a room full of IKEA. When their Internet Tablet comes out the sheep will feast. (From the comfort of their EKTORP couches.)
