Well if I failed to install Maemo SDK I guess it was as useful to me as Apple SDK at that time. I think this covers all three questions.

And I'm not sure that I want spend my entire day with internet tablet enjoying its excellent battery life. What I have read from this forum, I'm not the only one salivating over proper sync support and better graphics hardware.

But I guess I have to give Maemo SDK a second try. If I could develop software for tablet, I might justify 420 euro price tag ( that' $650 ). Too bad they don't sell N800 any more in Finland.

You can use Nokia's OMAP1->OMAP2 switch as a reference.
I'm not that familiar with hardware production and their time frames so forgive my ignorance. So this means that we can't expect more powerful tablet before next Christmas (maybe spring 2009). Too bad..
