I found out about the n800 from the podcast Buzz out loud.

Ok. You are right.
But Nokia Tablet is marketed as a commercial final product, nothing intended for developers as a kit.
Maemo tablet is an embedded system and if not working properly running OS and applications made by Nokia is not a commercial product.

I would like to hear an opinion from the Commission of the Euaropean Union if a manufacturer entering EU's market with a commercial product still showing bugs, generating operation problems to users is not violating provisions of the Consumers Rights Protection Act.

The strage thing about Nokia tablet is users are posting problems and questions get answered by other users not Nokia staff members, project manager, project development team members.

I would prefer Nokia Maemo project manager to spend 1-2 hours daily on-line at this public forum or another, giving official immediate answers to issues raised by users of Nokia tablet.

Telling what's wrong with application catalog, what's wrong with slow server.
Showing any interest in Nokia tablet as a brand product and its users.

To make Nokia tablet a mainstream product you don't have to invent more millions into a project, you just need to give clear description where we are and what can be offered to users, customers and at what price.

Nokia is a big corporation to hire some developers or put them on a contract, to test Nokia tablet before it is released and test every OS, test any and every applications ported to maemo
and to give clear and exact description how to install each one and what problems it may generate.

Nokia Tablet is an embedded system not PC, I can install another OS and still use it for any purpose I find it fit.
So Nokia Tablet must be supported by its manufacturer for a full life-time, not 1 year but for as long as it still works.

Buying a cheap $100 MP3/4 player from China I can expect it to work from the box not generating any problems.
Buying a cheap $99 car navigation device from China I can still expect to have it working smoothly for the purpose it was manufactured and intended to.

Buying $400 N810 I can expect to buy a good quality product fit for car navigation, Sirf III based embedded system.


Please ask Nokia director , Nokia tablet product manager to visit this forum and do the right job.

Steve from Apple is not afraid to go public.
