Again I see a lot of speculation. "End of 2009", "after christmas", "never" ... they all have one thing in common, no hard facts.

The facts are, Nokia are committed to the Linux tablet in some form, be it a niche product or a testbed for the future of the company. We WILL see the n900 or what ever name it gets and the indications from the discussions both on and off line point this squarely at the summer of 2009.

Will it be the one true holy grail of devices, I doubt it. Will it be an iphone killer, again, I doubt it without the cellular voice support. Will it be a step towards a great platform and bring with it a 10 fold increase in consumers, I really hope so. I'm sure Nokia have a plan, hell, I've heard first hand snippets of the plan which stitched together hold a lot of promise.

Give them a little slack and stick to the facts. We as a community are 'guessing'. Whether that be an educated guess of something pulled out of the nether regions its bad to spread FUD. Lets communicate what we definitely do know.
