Nokia tablets are not open devices/platform neither: HW is closed, no documentation/schematics, you can't install any other operating system standalone without relying on their proprietary bit-banging controlling software.
And to just illustrate what I meant by open vs closed device, - You need a developer key (and special T-Mobile G1!) to replace firmware on a G1. On a tablet, you have full root access and you can run NITdroid, Mer, Gentoo, Debian, etc. Without having to jailbreak or 'telnetd' your device.
