So $100 for a car mount?

It's definitely not cheap, or good value. With the iPod touch and the Asus Eee showing the way for bargain prices, Nokia is running the risk of pricing itself out of the market. Sure, the N810 is far more capable than the touch or Eee, but that means didley squat to non-gadget freak users. They just want to get online while out and about.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out. The 810 is a crucial step in the history of the Net tablet, and it might be seen in hindsight as the moment that Nokia removed themselves from the game by pricing themselves out.
