9. Let's not kid ourselves -- image editing doesn't exist for OS2007 and OS2008. Neither do we have an acceptable Office-type suite of applications for word processing, though I have found gnumeric to be pretty decent. Powerpoint? forget it. Gaming is possible in most cases, though navigation has sometimes been a problem. I'm not sure how many people here use their N8x0s as proper gaming devices, but I'd wager that it's not more than 5% of the NiT population.
11. N800's BT support is limited to BT DUN, BT Headset, BT OBEX, and one more that slips my mind (for connection to GPS). It does not have BT File Transfer and I do not recall BT Business Card Exchange support being there. I've also not had any success in getting my Windows machines to see the N800's storage devices as removable storage in the same way that these same machines see the MS Duo memory card on my Sony Ericsson mobiles as removable storage devices.

Try again. If you select Save right from the start, it *does* ask you where you want to save.

I don't know why it's different for you than for me. I'm using OS2008. After the 5 minutes, I click the link that says "reload" and then it says, "This video is ready, save now" (where "save" is a link).

I have imagemagick. Define "proper gaming device", please? I play more games on N800 than on PC, anyways... but I don't play all that much on either. (Not to say I'm typical.)
Mine does have FTP support, though. PAN is said to be working now as well. HID has been working all along, that's keyboards and (with some help) mice.
Business card exchange? I'm no BT whiz, but I'm thinking that's just a layer on top of obex, so I'd think it should be fairly simple if someone needed it.
AVRCP is still missing, and A2DP isn't so finished, though people have experienced varying degrees of satisfaction.
1. Handwriting should not be $350 and $500. Should be Yes and No respectively.
2. Installation of OGG codec for media player causes problems with audio in/out when using VoIP services, e.g. Skype, Gizmo, SIP. There's a workaround, but not for the non-tech-savvy
3. Video formats need to include more specifics. DivX files encoded at a very high bitrate will not play back properly.
4. Installation of FM Radio application on N800 causes OS2008 to not work properly with Bluetooth headsets.
5. There is FlashLite support for the iPod Touch and iPhone. At least that counts for something. Maybe
6. Even though iPod Touch and iPhone run MacOS X, it is still largely a closed platform. Maemo isn't perfect, but it's heck of a lot more open, and developers are not limited to developing webplets (web applets).
7. The N8x0's storage cards can be seen by PCs and Macs as removable drives and behaves as USD drive. The iPhone and iPod Touch can only be used by iTunes for music and movies.
8. Videos for the iPod Touch cannot be converted by iTunes. You'll need a 3rd party converter for that. The N8x0 isn't free from this either, since it is recommended that movies be optimized using N800 Video Convert or Nokia Internet Tablet Video Converter. Advanced users have reported success using Handbrake and other software, but the fact remains that the N8x0 runs optimized video better.
9. Let's not kid ourselves -- image editing doesn't exist for OS2007 and OS2008. Neither do we have an acceptable Office-type suite of applications for word processing, though I have found gnumeric to be pretty decent. Powerpoint? forget it.

I'm not sure how many people here use their N8x0s as proper gaming devices, but I'd wager that it's not more than 5% of the NiT population.
10. Might be useful to point out that the N800 and N810 has a user-replaceable battery while the iPod Touch does not.

12. The N8x0 has support for internet media streams. Do the iPod Touch and iPhone handle internet radio?
Just my 2 cents for the sake of objectivity.
N800 running OS2008 with 2 x 16GB SDHC connected over WiFi or via BT to Nokia E51's HSDPA/3G network
