So it's basically an ARM on which there can't be any free software developed. Good for Apple, and a continuation of their non-FOSS ways.

$500 for an N900 never felt so sweet.

This kind of integration will happen, this will become a de facto "lounge" device to be used as an adjunct to watching the TV.

If I had an iPad it wouldn't leave the house - it will be interesting to see how many take the 3G option.
I suppose, but why not just view the stats on your phone

OK, following our conversation, I dive into work on project A -- not putting my headphones back in. They lie there on my desk, quietly buzzing away. (I don't generally crank my headphones.) Now when a travelling colleague who has only my mobile number in his blackberry rings me. I don't hear it, and project B has a sudden crisis what could have been avoided.

I think we've discovered a third option that some people might want. and the setting does need to be controllable.
Or you can just stop the music. But hey, if you can convince Nokia to add an option I'm down with that, but that's not their style.

The thing is that very few (any?) phones in my experience have ever played the ringtone out of the speakers when headphones are connected, but that is now - bizarrely - what the N900 does and I'm sure it caters to a few corner cases - your corner case - but the reality is that most people will have the headphones in their ears when the call comes in. You quickly learned that when you were no longer listening on the headphones you disconnected the headphones from the socket...

Of course you can do that over the web, but I was thinking more of a tailor made application for the iPad with it's high resolution display. Sure, peering at a 3.5" screen loading web pages will work too, but maybe not as nice.

Yes, but this is marketed as a computer, and not a phone. People have different expectations from a computer.

Is it really being marketed as a "computer"? I find that unlikely for Apple, this will be some sort of digital assistant/eBook Reader/Life Planner/etc. - anything but a computer.
