Yes - they are not ready - if you want teleportation built in.
In the early 1960's I was proud as heck to get one of the first transistor radios that would fit in a shirt pocket, as about the same length and width as the N810 but several times as thick.
Wow - music I could walk around with, at a low cost.
In the late 1990's I loved my HP95LX - I could work on rudimentary web pages in the grocery line, I fixed machines in Bosnia while sitting in a phone booth in Pennsylvania. I hooked it up to a GPS and could track my movement thru Germany at about 140KM/hr. All at low cost.
Now it's 10 years later and I can surf the web and easily view web pages, have a basic GPS. Walk around my property watching my cable TV being served over wireless. Talk VOIP.
But heck I was hoping that the N810 would allow teleportation!!
Beam me up Scotty!
For about a day's pay this thing kicks butt. Compared to a UMPC at 3 to 4 times the cost.
Plus it runs Linux by choice! (I didn't start with Linux until v0.95 back in 1992.)
Thanks testerj for posting, it's people like you that bring this community together. It also gives me more insight as to the type of people at help desks.
