I believe that's an excellent idea.

In my end of the universe, the opposite is true. NAND being cheaper
than NOR, it is far more interesting for handheld devices and it is
presented in the device in raw form because device makers don't want
the overhead cost of the USB or CompactFlash adapter.  Oh, and it is
*also* presented behind an adapter as add-in memory, usually CF or SD.

That said, I still think it's a good idea to concentrate on NOR first
and worry about NAND later.
