Yes, that's what I feared. Builtin MMC chip (of relatively small capacity and impossible to remove) and thus only one additional SD/MMC slot. Or can OMAP 3430 support more than two SD/MMC interfaces? I guess not.

I am guessing that the n810 W will have atleast 8gb of internal memory:confused:

The RoundPad
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...1&d=1193595111

1) I call the new interface the RoundPad. It's simply a round d-pad, that can be depressed, but is also a capacitive touchpad on its face, for multi-positional input (just like the analog stick).

2) Based on the sensed finger position, the depression (through software) will determine what direction the user has pressed. This allows for a 4-directional dpad, 8-directional dpad, or n-directional dpad emulation. This makes it just as intuative as the original dpad, and usable for many games.

Hehe, you have just reinvented the wheel, in this case the ipod wheel.

Oh, I love the roundpad. It seems to have a clearer direction, compared to the ipod's wheel which seems to only be able to wander around aimlessly ;)

PS: I don't think the ipod wheels can detect the position of your finger on the wheel? Most directional inputs have to be clicked to hit the 4 microswitches underneath the wheel. Also, all the software navigation in regards to the touchwheel invovles directional rotation, not an absolute position on the wheel..

I'm not sure, but I think they can sense position; the click is used so there's no confusion whether a short swipe at one of the 4 positions was a tap or a slight volume adjustment.
But to sense actual position, calibration might be necessary, which I don't think iPods have...

MOST IMPORTANT: THE SPEAKERS ! I LOVE THEM !

1. Scrolling wheel: a must ! Try Sony !
2. Volume wheel: a must!
3. Performance: Faster processor, faster browser, better camera.
4. Improved video possiblilities, sizeability, codecs etc.
5. Screen + 1 size and better daylight readability. The device sizes are excellent !.
6. Video out: Every freaking digital photo camera has video-out !
7. GPS yes, not necessarily for navigation purposes, maybe location, defintely photos', logging etc.
8. Extended power facilities (external batteries or easy changeable batteries
9. Integrated Skype, Pidgin (as messenger etc.)
10 Network Printing !
11 Simple word, excel and powerpoint software
12 Sync'd to PC & mobile phone: PIM: calendar. to-do list, contacts,
13 Wifi in combination with bluetooth and G3 on my mobile phone works fine for me. Maybe WIMax is better, but I am not sure if that also applies to dense populated aereas.

Abel.

It's movinand.

I'd like the wimax module to be a pluggable thing so I could swap it for 3G+GSM.
Video out would be quite nice, as it means the tablet would be a useful media player to connect to a TV.
Multi-touch screen.
usb host with a bit more power output able to drive at least a usb card reader.
802.11n
accelerometers for both input/control and navigational dead-reckoning

low priority:
IRDA so's I could use it as a univerdal remote control.
A better camera would be nice.

impossible, but...
dvb-h receiver

It would just be nice to see a more powerful ARM processor, opengl, and a DSP that works at full rez
