I'm very pleased with the faster processor, graphics acceleration and hd camera(I prefer the swivel N800 camera setup). I'm really happy with cellular capabilities.
I can't take an ounce of credit for any of that, though. I think I got a few bugs fixed... :D

The DevSesh this morning was really pushing... all data all the time via HSPA so you should design your applications based on that. While the conic stuff will still be there there is already a push for data rich ( broadband speeds ) applications.

Quit beating yourself up. That's your wife's job. :p

Seriously, Jay, your opinion will always count. You've been a huge help to the community and that doesn't evaporate simply because you're on vacation. Heck, I had big plans for jablet.net and have had no chance to act on them for some time. But hey... never say never!

Then there's the software implementation, which also costs money, and carrier requirements, etc, etc, etc.

In the end, it just ends up costing you, the consumer, a lot of money.
I paid for my Nokia cellphone with prepaid card for around 30€.
I can't believe that regulations would make the next Tablet over 20€ more expensive.

There are 802.11g CF cards which can be used in Zaurus - I have one of them.

SL-6000 has on-board wifi which is a crap (can not do WPA). And with sleeve you can have 2 CF slots (also 2 batteries).

Last Zaurus was SL-3200 (terrier). The line of Zauruses is: SL-A300 (rare device), SL-5000/5500, SL-5600, c700, c750, c760/860, SL-6000 (few variants), SL-C3000, SL-C1000, SL-C3100, SL-C3200.

Interesting; it would seem that the idea of using cellular as an accompanyment to context/LBS apps is something that developers are being made to look at. With an addition of a database on the local device, this could be pretty interesting for the non-broadband, yet connected anyway kinda apps and service-integration-points.

Any word at this point as to how maemo will address making documentation (for developers) and reporting bugs (for end-users) a cleaner aspect of the development process for maemo going forward?

Before the rebranding, there was some talk of Bugzilla not being a friendly place to submitting issues, and it possibly seeing some retooling. Reporting bugs is one of the most important aspects of an agile development model, which is what the maemo team uses. Is that part going to address the ability to end users to seek and easily report bugs, or stay as it is for mainly developer attention?

The other fun part of agile (iterative) development is documentation. Developers have long complained about aspects of the OS not having sufficient documentation and therefore its harder to make and not break aspects of the core system when trying to extend its functionality. From my own observation of what documentation is out there, it sucks. Has or will maemo modify its efforts in this area so that developer confusion is less of an issue?

The latter question teeters on internal conversations that might not be ready for public knowledge; though at a developer convention, I would expect that some high level aspect of this would be talked about seeing that what has been spoken so far has been about vision casting and garnering more momentum for the upcoming platform advancements.

Anyone know how the next tablet will be better/different than the HTC Touch HD (apart from OS)? I just read the hardware specs today and I'm impressed. Ive been an early adopter of Nokia tablets but the HTC touch HD seems to do everything the n9x0 will, plus voice? I'll buy one of these gizmos depending on availabilty and price.
