Yes, a new tablet is obviously in the works. I suspect we'll see it with Fremantle. However, I don't think it's evident from a quietness:

a) It's been summer holiday time.
b) The general level of Nokian participance in things like Bugzilla has increased.

To us "outsiders," though, they're doing a good job hiding WHAT.
Not so much, things we definitely know Fremantle will have:
  1. Beta releases of the SDK for developers
  2. A consistent, finger-oriented UI with kinetic scrolling
  3. Mainstream-ready
  4. Lockable homepage applets
  5. X.org base
  6. Better Qt integration
  7. ...

I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff we know will be coming. We'll obviously know more after the summit where it seems almost definite that there'll be more detail on the Fremantle plans.

(sigh) At least we know they read these forums and hopefully take our desires into design consideration. I am anxious.
Hardware design is, apparently, outside of the scope of the Maemo Software team who we've seen participating in the various fora. Software plans'll've been fixed for a while...
