Thought Stream: Nitin Badjatia's Weblog: Nokia N800: Not really for the rest of us (yet)

    Just a note that the device appears compatible with 'foldaway' blue tooth keyboards. Nokia even offer one of their own brand for sale as an n800 accessory.

    The UMPC seems to be an answer to a question nobody asked... I'm not sure how they're supposed to fit in... Especially now with devices like the iPhone pointing the way to truly mobile computing. I can't agree more that the closed platform of the iPhone was a bad decision. I think Nokia can perfect the mobile phone/computer if anyone can - but the N800 seems like a bit of a waste of time.

    Hotel Guy - I think the N800 is a good attempt at moving to true mobile connectivity. The evolution is clearly underway with iPhone. The problem with both, in my opinion, is that they are still early stage solutions and lack the necessary ingredients (a real keyboard for example) to assure mass market success.
