Not too many ppl talk about how hackable the iphone is. To illustrate that, one way to 'expand' upon the application space is to move it to a different partition and make a symbolic link to point to the new space. Yes, many ppl forget that the iphone has a BSD core underneath.
As for the apps, there's plenty of good ones now (the included apps are good enough, the 3rd party ones available are pretty cool) but come June-July, I'm guessing there will be an explosion of apps for the iphone from big 3rd party names which will make a considerable dent in the market (and the iphone's capability... & desirability. Yes, most of them will probably be commercial (I assume with the high level of polish and quality, but curse them if they aren't) which I don't mind paying for good stuffs anyway.
But this may be a sticking point for those on the budget..

okay my question is how do you transfer songs from two different computers to the ipod with or without using itunes. The moment i connect the ipod to itunes it asks me to sync to my library and the same thing happens when i connect to my friends library. But is there a way without hacking to have songs from two different computers at the same time??
I tend to just sort the songs by added date, and pick the top songs in the list that I have added since the last time
It is how I use it - I have 3 computers I use at various times, and they all have differnt subsets of my music on them. I don't want it tied to any one machine.

To me, the continued back-and-forth here just serves to demonstrate that, overall, the tablets and iProducts really are (currently) addressing very distinct markets/users.

Does that mean will the Nxxx in the future support gsm also?

I compared the iTouch and the N810 very carefully before ending up with the Nokia IT, and comparison questions pop up on the forums here quite regularly.
The only scenario I can see where I would completely discount any comparison is where someone is specifically looking for a single device with cellular phone capabilities.

Tablets focus: highly-portable and configurable computers
iProducts focus: sexy media players/communicators

EDIT: what would be interesting to me is to see a group comprised of iPhone and tablet owners who liked both devices equally for different purposes and used the iPhone tethered to the tablet for-- oh wait, never mind.

I just wish there would be an active sync client to an email/calendar app. One that does support remote wipe. I have 2 friends with the Iphone... Im an It guy and love that they are getting that functionality. However I dont want to give up my remote desktop to work on my servers. I am torn, as I want an all in one device.
