Elad, thanks for pointing out the article. Having read the article, I have to say that, aside the poor choice of article headline on the part of the author, I do not agree with your overall assessment of the article. I thought the author's overall assessment was actually reasonable. Based on what I have read on this list, in terms of problems, turns of the OS image, etc. I have to conclude that Nokia has a long way to go in learning how to launch a consumer product like this (new technology + new target market). Just think if the Apple IPOD Nano came out with as many problems as the 770? Apple years ago learned the the process of launching consumer products like this the hard way with their failure with the Newton PDA (new technology+new market). Nokia is learning with the 770, which is clearly not the same as a mobile phone product. I am encouraged by what I read on this list that the technical problems are being worked out and perhaps the next release of the 770 hw will address performance concerns as well. I think also that 770 pricing is an issue in the U.S. at least where the market is awash with technology substitutes. The price for the 770 really needs to be at ~~$200 to grab the attention of consumers who could care less about which OS it is running. Again, using Apple's IPOD Nano as an example, that rough price point of $200 hit the market "nail" on the head. At that price point it is not unusual to find households with several IPODS. Best
