So.. just Curious...
What exactly is the alternative device that is pocket-sized, has Flash 9, AJAX, Bluetooth DUN/OBEX, Thousands of apps, With default OGG and mp3 support built-in with video playing capabilities.. and for an experimenter has the ability to run a complete linux system which includes access to tens of thousands of more software???

I too am curious about the alternatives.
But I would mention, one the advantages of the NIT using open source, is that there are alternatives. I use mplayer (with Kagu as a front end) to play my Ogg music all the time. Free software, as in freedom of choice.

I was pretty interested until I attended the presenation. Now I am sitting on the side lines.

And for the lack of 3G support.
Please see the Wiki and feel free to contribute to it, or the referred bug report. http://wiki.maemo.org/Playing_OGG_files

The grass looks always greener on the other side... i.e. until you get there.
It's true that the NIT don't play Ogg out of the box. Windows PCs don't play Ogg either.
Nokia or Microsoft may have a stance against Ogg, but it's easy to install software that adds this functionality. On the NITs there are mplayer and mogg to enable Ogg Vorbis.

I know of seven to ten purchases that have been made upon my recommendation, in the last year. Nokia has lost a big supporter because they have been unable to justify why they cannot support these patent-free, license-free codecs. Any codec might have submarine patents, but Nokia seems to go out of it's way to avoid these codecs that are intentionally free of patents and licenses.
As long as Maemo will not support by default the codecs of Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora, I will be purchasing and recommending other manufacturers for internet tablets.
