Meh. I'll get an iPhone or iTouch when it has a physical keyboard. No sooner.

The N810 is a sweet design. Once they stuff new hardware in it, I imagine I will have a better opinion of it. The tearing and craziness in the current models just drives me batty. So much potential...They can improve the keyboard a little, give us better media playback (read: Arm Cortex) and it will be a real contender.

Just a clarification. Cocoa stems from NextStep/OpenStep, which comes from next. Carbon comes from the old Macintosh toolkit.
There is almost no relationship between cocoa and carbon, in fact it is actually hard to bridge between them - they are two completely disimilar frameworks, programmed with different languages purely there to maintain compatibility with older software.
The iPod cannot use carbon, it only has cocoa.
Cocoa stems from NeXT directly and Carbon was just used to help migration from OS 9 to OS X.

Nokia likely worked on the 770 for a year or 2 before it was released as well, in addition to taking everything from linux and GTK. So we're 3 to 5 years into Tablet OS development too. Its still a mess!

Anyway you're right, two totally different devices that do not compete, in my opinion, at all.
The iPhone is a phone, the IT is not.
The iPod touch is a media player, the IT is not.
This should be enough.
The iPhone is for Mac users, the IT is for the rest of us.
I am both a Mac user and non-Mac user.
So, now, I don't know which one I should love
EDIT: oh, texrat already prized you

I focused on the SDK for many posts but I got baited into defending the iPhone again!
Isn't that what these devices do, in one form or another? iPhone stays connected, iPod hops on Wifi. N810 Wifi/Tether and Nxx0 WiMax stays connected.
They are fighting for the same dollars, with the SDK now released. Easy distribution is definitely the way to go with mobile devices. As long as Apple actually moves with the market this time, I think they have a winner on their hands.
Its just two different means to the same end. One is a mess, and one is with polish and focus.
