You certainly are: I'm not using the SDK as a metric, Jamie is.

What I'm saying is that the ITs are marketed to anybody who will buy them, including clueless consumers. (Buy.com is a huge consumer-oriented site, not an obscure company catering to developers...) But Nokia treats them like developer's toys, and doesn't support them the way they should. Nokia is the one that is speaking with forked tongue. I bought my N800 because I took the bait and thought it was a consumer-level device because of everything I saw in the sales material. I was duped. I like my tablet, but it's turned out to be nothing but a toy. It can do lots of neat things, but in every area it falls just short of fulfilling its potential: it can display moving maps, but can't actually navigate; it can do PIM-like things (after installing third-party apps), but can't easily and reliably sync all of that data; it can do basic text files, but the shipped app uses a proprietary format and it can't open or edit any actual office documents; it can be a media player, but is limited as to the formats and especially video resolution/bitrates (it can't even do native screen resolution, only a quarter of screen resolution); the list goes on and on... Maybe *you* are never offline, but anybody who needs offline access to their complete contact database/schedule/etc. *does* need a PIM. And who wants to carry around multiple devices when one is enough? > You can place one in the 'cons' column, but not both. No double-dipping > allowed! > > K > I give up. You people and your straw-man arguments will never be convinced.
