A jailbroken iPod touch is no substitute :-) I totally agree with the author/post as by analogy, ipod Touch + iPhone = successful App store. Different markets can really use different devices. I too hope Nokia is not shortsighted to forsake their developer base and remain lost to the carriers with telephony only. Archos, Creative and probably even Palm will have a Wifi-only, PMP type iPod 'touch' to expand base and spread their brand or OS; I look forward to Nokia doing the same. Pretty please?!

Or maybe even voip or HSPA connection. quick guess is that the call interface have gotten to much of a focus, being the only app supporting rotation, and even autolaunching if the device is rotated while showing the desktop.

A true mobile computing experience will never happen on a 3.5 inch screen. yeah swiss army knives are great. have you ever tried to actually use the cork screw, how about the tree saw.

Having everything in one device is true convergence. At present you're left trying to tether your internet tablet which is not practical or efficient. mobilecomputer speaks the reasoned conclusion.

Even if you would not use N900 as a phone as such, I think having 24/7 internet connection, regardless of the geographical location, a _pre-requisite_ of proper mobile internet experience. Carrying a second device, a phone, next to a non-phone internet tablet, for the sake of that internet connectivity is, to me, very clunky. And very far from ideal.
