He's a frickin Nostradamus, can't you see?
He even foresaw the flaming of himself.

I know what you mean, but I'm talking about the likes of the Odroid gaming system etc... it doesn't have to be a smartphone. All they have to do is use the right hardware. I don't know maybe I'm upset this has been delayed for so long.. I had so much hopes for it. There is a slew of new technologies, SOC's like Tegra, Omap advancements, and innovations coming out next year the likes of which we had never seen in the past decade. The lines between game system, phone, PDA, and laptop are truly becoming blurred. Add many open source OS to the mix and you get the idea... convergence heaven.

By the time this thing gets released there will be more powerful hardware out by a different manufacturer able to do the same thing this beast can but also make calls. Just my 2 cents.

@FraggleRock
To put things in perspective....here is a quote from wikipedia:
"....Nokia had R&D presence in 16 countries and employed 39,350 people in research and development, representing approximately 31% of the group's total workforce."
According to Wikipedia Apple has about 35,000 employees in total.

In other words Nokia has invested more researchers and engineers into creating new innovative technologies than Apple's total employees put together. It is a very visionary, innovative, and flexible company. I can't wait to see what they will create in the future and this patent lawsuit is only the tip of the iceberg for their plan become a true contender in the smart phone market.

Pshhhh I'll be impressed when he projects pr0n in the subway.

I'm sorry but you fail to acknowledge the entire student demographic from K-12 to AA to PHD.
It would also be nice to efficiently use resources by going digital with notebooks and text books thus saving paper, ink and lowering the rates of deforestation. Not only that but saving time when looking up notes and physical space. I can't wait to do away with notebooks and book shelves by going all digital at school. Believe it or not the future will move forward with or without you as is the nature of technology. Rejected at first but eventually will be adopted later once trendsetters pick them up and market them correctly.

The same thing they release every day Pinky,
A weak atom processor, 1Gb of ram and little/slow SSD storage. Probably no optical media and windows 7 installed. priced between $600~$700.

Here's hoping it has full Wacom digitizer support, a full bluetooth stack, and at least ion graphics.

Obviously the demographic they cater to is Power Buyers not Slick Dealers.

@HotDog
Probably. You might also be able to fry a small egg on the surface from the heat of all those powerful components.
