I think quite the opposite happened. We know they decided to skip Elephanta (what would have been Maemo 5) and push Fremantle (Elephanta+1) forward instead. This must have had some impact on the hardware design as well. It's quite possible the original plan was for another OMAP2-based tablet in Q4, but personally I'm quite happy to wait a few extra months for something better.
