Internet Tablet musing in the iPhone 3G aftermath

June 11th, 2008

Writing over on tabletblog.com, Thoughtfix has covered a couple of points that have come to him out of the mist of the iPhone 3G release.

In a couple of posts surrounding the same issue, thoughtfix compares the iPhone to the N810 and lists his reasons why he thinks the N810 will win out on a number of counts. The comments are mixed on this, but an interesting idea does come from MDK which leads thougthfix to write a follow-up post…

This article concerns whether independent developers on maemo will ever be able to monetize their apps as the iPhone crowd will soon be able to do. Again, there’s a mixed response with one view being that a more consumer friendly approach to software on the N8×0 tablets could be a real boon for sales of teh device.

What do you think? Do you think the Internet Tablets still have what it takes? Jump through the links above to have your say on either post.

  chances of N8×0 selling more units than the iphone is somewhere between 0 and 0. but that’s not the main issue. the problem for nokia, samsung, etc is that apple+att made the iphone (hardware) into a service. how can nokia sell n96, etc at prices higher than 200 and expect people to buy them?

  sure there are things the iphone is missing - bluetooth obex, copy/paste, mms, video recording. those problems will either be resolved or consumers will fail to care about them. especially with the enterprise features in firmware 2.0 i’d say cellphone manufacturers are in lots of trouble. nokia cannot take a loss on the hardware and make up with services like apple can (itunes, mobileme).

  also, garmin. how will they ever sell that nuvi phone?
