A few notes of historical interest: You want to know when we knew the N800 was coming out? About 2 days before release. You want to know when we knew anything interesting about the N810 (aside from the spy-shots which many people thought were actually of an S60 device)? The day Nokia announced it and released the specs.

Point being, Nokia is much like Apple in its tight-lipped approach to hardware. The OMAP3 is really only now starting to sample in any real numbers, and you can be sure that even though they haven't announced anything, Nokia hasn't been sitting on its laurels.
I guess I placed it as this year's model since it was released late in the year last year and the N800 had only just come out January of last year. My apologies for the innaccuracies.

I thought I'd remembered reading that the processor was just slightly faster. It doesn't make it any better at all, then.

Do you think that the tight-lipped Apple approach works the best? My figuring is that it kind of works for Apple because of Jobs' showboating on release days, but it doesn't seem as if Nokia does that. Maybe Nokia doesn't need to; I'd gotten mine without a lot of melodrama from the manufacturer. I simply saw that it was a LINUX based tablet based on Debian and that got me hooked. Everyone else saw how I got along with it and wanted one--they didn't know Linux from Apple from Windows... they just liked that I had a LOT of power and flexibility with it and that I could even write my own little apps and stuff. VERY attractive to the business folks, that last bit.

Well, your optimism makes me hopeful, then. Thanks for your responses despite my gruffness sometimes.
