The big Apple tablet may sell for a lot, but Amazon had the new 8gb touch on sale for $150. How does that compare to the price of the N900?

Saying the touch is not a tablet because of its "stripped down browser" is either just semantics or just stupid. People use it to surf the web, get info and entertainment off the internet, read e-books, etc.

tissot, your idea of Nokia "making the other gadgets obsolete" is proved silly (at least in this era) by the fact that the late-comer touch is outselling the iPhone.

Not everybody needs an 8-cylinder SUV; plenty of people are satisfied with a little passenger car.
