I hope it doesn't. I'm a touch-typist and I can't use those cramped-style slide-out keyboards. For me it would just add to the cost and size of the device and be just a waste.

A transflective screen though.. that would be great! Could use the tablet outside in bright daylight then, which isn't really possible with the N800. Of course the display would have to be as good as the current display is in other respects (viewing angle, brigthness etc.)

And the driver for the video processor ...

Re: Third Internet Tablet spotted on FCC

the whole wimax thing - is there an existing "broadcast" system for it anywhere in the world yet? I'm fairly sure that there isn't in the UK.

maybe a sim-type "add-on" would be the obvious thing for it, rather than including a hard0wired functionality that won't be able to be used by many?

*sigh*

Why didn't they go back to the 770 form factor? IMO the N800 looks like crap.

Assuming it doesn't that means:
1. Nokia will be releasing two ( or more ) tablets pretty soon, or
2. WiMAX will be an add-on device such as a usb or sdio card.

To learn more technical details about WiMAX, check the link below. Evidence that WiMAX uses a mac address is on page 27. Definition of SS on page 10.
http://www.ieee802.org/16/docs/01/80216-01_58r1.pdf

If WiMax introduction on the N800 from Sprint/Nokia takes the form of a WiMax SDIO card, rather than having it built-in to the hardware, then this 3rd tablet could be the launch platform for WiMax in the IT line. Then all the pieces make sense, and there is only one IT coming out later this year or early next year. Intel is producing the WiMax SDIO card by arrangement with Nokia, and Nokia has partnered with Sprint to be the WiMax carrier. Then all we are looking at in the 3rd IT is an additional GPS built-in, and a new firmware to take advantage of the WiMax SDIO. That would be a great upgrade path for existing IT users, don't you think. But then again, it is probably just wishful thinking on my part :)

I think the 770 looks like crap.
