Internet Tablet OS2005 through OS2008 were...different. If someone placed an Internet Tablet in front of you, next to your N900, you'd likely not immediately recognize the older UI as Maemo.

By "different" I don't mean "bad", mind you, though I expect quite a few N900 owners would be uncomfortable using a device running ITOS. Maemo was less finger friendly and a bit more similar in looks to desktop Linux back then. That was a plus to many here, and the drastic changes Maemo 5 brought drove a good number of community members away.

Why didn't Nokia release a bigger 7" or 10 " tablet in the last 1.5 year?
People in this community have been calling on Nokia to produce larger format Internet Tablets since before Apple released the iPhone, not just since the iPad. Again and again, Nokia employees flatly declared that Maemo was designed for handheld, pocket-sized devices and they had no interest in changing that.

Yes. Nokia Care.
