Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?
Someone here in this forum who has the time should read through all the posts and make multiple choice poll on what features you would like? And the number of choices each user can choose should be limited so that people pick the 3 most important feature they think should be in the n900. That will give nokia a good idea of what to implement and what not.....

I though the maximum number of poll options was 10, so a poll encompassing all of the ideas of this thread would be impossible.

Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?
"future tablets should contain a switch in the stylus silo. With the stylus is stored, the tablet works in its default, "fat finger" mode, but then shifts appropriately when the stylus comes out to play."
Since the author of this comment also specializes in impossible challenges, how about teaching Nokia how to sell replacement styluses? I was carrying my N800 in my jeans pocket until someone told me I looked weird with such bulging pockets. So, since I can't carry it in my pocket for fashion reasons, I'm now open to a bigger tablet, which would be nicer for watching tv and movies anyway. I think that trying to project an image of "the tablet even idiots can like" is not the right approach for the N900. That's a Mac thing. This is a tablet for smart people willing to learn more, and who want to carry a real computer with them. They want styluses, for one thing to write notes quickly in classes -- this is the fastest way to take notes, unless you can do true touch typing on the N900, which I doubt. Once choice that could be offered -- how about a choice in sizes? Pocketable or not? Plus a shoulder holster for transportablity, with the device disguised as a gun. |

Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?
I really only want two things that my N800 doesn't have now:
1:)More horsepower. I don't know if it's software or hardware, or both, but we're not quite to the fie on a mobile device. The it does it better than any other device, but still can't handle some of the 'Web 2.0' stuff that I need it to do(Google Spreadsheets anyone?) 2:)Always on connectivity. WiMax sounds great, but it ain't here yet, and probably won't be cheap at first, either. I personally want a quad-band GSM sim slot with at least edge. I don't care if it can handle phone calls or not. I could move my current card with $20.00 a month data plan to the tablet, then add a line to my AT&T Family Plan for $9.99 for my calling needs. Cost to me:$9.99 per month more than I'm paying now. Not bad for full-time tablet connectivity. I know, the argument against this is that Bluetooth tethering will do the same without adding an additional line, but I'm not satisfied with Bluetooth. I've been using tethering for a few years now with several different phones and mobile computers/PDA's, some with built-in BT and some with dongles, and I've never been satisfied with the results. I've had too many dropped connections and other problems, so I'd rather take the HTC Shift route. Beyond these two things, I'd personally stick to SD cards for the increased storage, but would at least prefer microSD to mini. Mini just hasn't had widespread adoption as far as I can see. Finally, always give a pure tablet option. I'm not a big fan of little keyboards, but I would like to see 'write anywhere' handwriting recognition. I love handwriting recognition, but the it's current implementation is poor. |
Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?
It will be interesting to come back to this thread *peep* months later when "N900" has just been released... :D

Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?
Hardware wise I doubt there will be any big surprises. OMAP3, 3d acceleration, h264 in hardware, 256MB RAM, at least 512MB internal flash, same size screen, and similar or smaller footprint. I think those are all very good bets.
Software is another whole story since even the existing hardware could get a real boost from newer software. |

Ok, I am thniking of making a poll. What do you think of the following proposed HARDWARE changes only. I think the 10 most talked about things are (in no specific order) represented below. I am assuming everybody wants more powerful cpu, more ram, and charge through usb.
1. Automatic stylus removal detection__ Yes No 2. Physical_keyboard_________________ Yes No 3. Bigger screen____________________ Yes No 4. GSM radio_______________________ Yes No 5. Storage_________________________ 1 SD, 2 SD, 1 microSD, 2 microSD, hard drive 6. Capacitive touch screen____________ Yes No 7. Radio(s)__________________________ GPS, Wimax, FM, 802.11n 8.

Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?
Get ready to laugh but I would love a super tiny bluetooth mouse that pops out of the unit. Maybe the size of a couple quarters.

This would also allow programmable virtual buttons, like top buttons for gaming 215.the stylus must be killed, the sooner the better 216.I'd like some more documentation, perhaps on a CD or something, that talks about what the apps really do. 217.I wish we had 5-point calibration, with separate position & pressure. 218.With the stylus is stored, the tablet works in its default, "fat finger" mode, but then shifts appropriately when the stylus comes out to play. 219.one big screen that can be folded in half. the screen would be flexible enough to allow the use of buttons underneath it 220.smaller and no slide out keyboard, 221.accelerometer-controlled pointer |
Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?
Now who is going to make a poll???
|
Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?
A poll would have to be separated into hardware changes vs software changes. The hardware changes will then have to be sectioned off again (input method, cpu, etc.). In my opinion, the software changes may be too varied to conduct a poll and may depend on the hardware changes.

My ideal would be to start with the 770, and then add the following: 1. Faster processor 2. More RAM 3. GPS 4. WiMAX 5. Transflexive screen While I don't mind either way, I think most people would rather have an SD-variant than the RS-MMC slot, so change it to mini- or micro-SD. |

A vibrate function. This would be helpful whether the N900 was a phone or not. It would be useful to know when certain events occur (receive IM or email). I would be willing to increase the width of the N900, if needed, for this one.

Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?
^ good suggestion. A piezo membrane would be cheap and easy to include.

Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?
Would it be completely impractical to make a partly modular tablet? I would first of all like to replace the camera, but there might be other things that could be changed as technology advances.

Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?
If you want anything more modular than a PCMCIA/cardbus/expresscard type slot, yes, it's pretty impractical; the size hit for modularity is much more punishing in this form factor than a laptop or even a T&L.
So I think it would likely be suicide for the device in question; the benefits of swapping cameras, etc., would only really show up later when better cameras and such are available, and it's too late then. |
Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?
I still like that IBM idea: produce a small highly-modular engine that could slide into a variety of form factors. I know it's unlikely to ever see the light of day, but a rat can dream...
