this concerns me. How could they have anticipated demand (roughly) that poorly?
More shenanigans by senior management in aid of total & complete failure?

I don't think Nokia had much of a plan about what it was supposed to be. I think that for Nokia "internet tablet" mostly just meant "a mobile webbrowser". That seemed the only part that functioned really well. And it was the reason I bought the device. It was the only mobile computer/PDA/Mobile with a high density screen that was affordable (360 euros at the time).
I'm very glad I bought it. Back then mostly because I could browse the web anywhere, and currently because I learned so much about linux because of it.
The current pad/tablets are bigger, but are also much more than just a web browser. I don't think Nokia ever envisioned the Internet tablets to be used in a way that we currently use tablets/pads.
So I don't think that they are the same form factor.
I think the internet tablets are more like PDA formfactor. But because the PDA is used so differently from an iPad/tablet, nobody would call the iPad a resurrection of the PDA.

They truly WERE intending to make a portable computing platform and even called them TABLETS. They may LOOK like PDA form factors, but they clearly were aiming for more. My disappointment is with what using the term TABLET implied and how they missed the boat on the opportunities despite MANY people on here hinting as much--maybe not so much hinting as CLAMORING. :P

Maybe now MS can help Nokia with telling people how to get pregnant.

LMAO, good one. We're blaming the wrong people blame OPK and co. for his substandard management that led Nokia to this dilemna in the first place.
Nokia is the brand that makes people wait from almost half a year to a year for a product, and the product turns out to suck like no other. The launch of Ovi store was hilarious to say the least.

Shenanigans by senior management in aid of total failure, or just sheer incompetence?
Or perhaps (as some have said) marketing hype, or piss-poor journalism?
I'm like a nervous gnat whenever I read anything about meego/n9 nowadays.
I develop a nervous twitch whenever I hear those words uttered!

Sorta makes sense that the 64gb version would be more presold than the 16gb version since it really doesn't come at a premium, cost-wise and there's no immediate way to extend the N9's memory. I'd go up to the 64gb if I were a heavy user myself.
