The n900 functions perfectly fine without a SIM card I know someone using it in such a manner for everyday use.

The big Apple tablet may sell for a lot, but Amazon had the new 8gb touch on sale for $150. How does that compare to the price of the N900?

This doesn't do the following:
1. bring the price down (you still pay $200 for the radios you don't use)
2. make the screen larger (the decrease in size from the predecessors was likely in order to make N900 more phone-like).
3. avoid the tons of disappointed with the phone functionality users.
IMO, all and every flaw, lack of functionality, drawback in the N900 is solely and entirely caused by the fact it was surgically reassigned to be a cell phone rather than the next generation NIT as we had hoped it to be.
Having a cheaper tablet/media device with the same OS would increase the user base and bring more developers, as it did for Apple, with practically zero investment in development.

Second, honestly anyone who doesn't know what the N900 wouldn't probably be looking a tablet in the first place
Finally from a financial standpoint again anyone in the market for a internet tablet wouldn't mind spending for a N900 (hence you, me, and everyone here) and as for parents buying their kids (why in hell, IDK) internet tablets then all they have to do is buy o-n-e device instead of two or three (if you count the 5MP camera) which I am sure they would appreciate and will be cheaper.
IMHO You are right though about people thinking the N900 is just another phone, but from business point of view that would be good cuz they are doubling their demographics.
