What the hell is a Nokia? Are they even relevant technology anymore?

Dude, go out of your world. Explore the outside and see the big difference.

They have tried this before (N770).

I think it will take a lot more time for the technology to mature.

In the meantime, for the past three days the Wall Street Journal has been running full page ads featuring the journal in the iPad. Lots of articles in national and local newspapers about apps for the iPad.

all this news on tablets but i still can't find a reason to want one. Ipad Nokia ect. so far it all seems pretty useless to me.

I can't for the life of me see how this is going to work. Nokia's strengths revolve around making highly crunchy equipment (n900). Touchscreen tablets are not good for people that want really crunchy stuff. History has already shown that with the generally universal failure of touchscreen systems with standard OS's. They are simply too clumsy for much more than the toy-esque iPad style system.

"OK, I'll bite. Just what kind of tablet could we have had based on 80486 technology with a CRT based screen?"

Apple Newton.

The punchline? The iPad basically uses the same ARM processor!
