Not really. There is a certain important difference between "I failed" and "It is not available".

What I have read from this forum, I'm not the only one salivating over proper sync support and better graphics hardware.
Well, I am not salivating over sync support, as I do not need it. Only have to deal with Exchange at work, so I am completely happy if it stays there.

As far as graphics goes, the OMAP2 chip inside Nokia tablets does include 3D graphics hardware, so the only problem is the drivers. I am pretty sure that sooner or later this problem will be resolved.

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.
Just order one from the US

So this means that we can't expect more powerful tablet before next Christmas (maybe spring 2009). Too bad..
Who told you that you can't expect a more powerful tablet? I only told you that you can't expect an OMAP3-based tablet by that time. But there is still a lot of things you can do with OMAP2 architecture, not to mention the system software (like those 3D drivers).
