Ah, see, my experience says that the N800 is particularly good for non-techies, and they wouldn't really care about a "cool factor". But it's a matter of taste really, they're both good pocket devices for looking at the web (though again, I'd stress that the Touch's inexplicable lack of flash may be a decisive factor).

Seriously, why doesn't Apple have Flash support? It can't be the browser, Nokia uses the same one on their flash-enabled smartphones, and the hardware in the Touch and iPhone is similar to that in Nokia's smartphones. Could it be some kind of licence problem? Maybe Apple doesn't like using another company's technology?
