My next Nokia device won't be a tablet but a replacement for my N95, whenever that will be. My tablet replacement will be a 17" MacBook Pro!
Having seen the multitude of WiMAX (2.4Ghz, 2.5Ghz, 3.5Ghz) frequencies worldwide and in the US, I'm already wishing that Nokia though ahead to get a multiband chipset. I'm wondering if one wasn't available at the time, would have cost too much, or whether Nokia really was betting it all on XOHM? (my guess is the latter)

I have high hopes for Maemo 5 and the new OMAP3 processor, but I'm curious to see what direction Nokia takes in wireless. Honestly, I think all 4G technologies are immature and poorly deployed at this point in the US. LTE and WiMAX both have a long way to go. Until we do, we need 3G or 3.5G solutions or none at all (802.11n?)
