No. You wrote that you've read again and again that the next tablet was due "soon" and likened those "missed" dates to those of Duke Nukem Forever. I'm pointing out that since the release of the N810 WiMAX Edition, the only tablet release date Nokia has given is "a Maemo 5 device in 2009". Any other date prediction you've seen has been wishful thinking by, well, unofficial sources (read: fanboys, wackos, and trolls).

As to silence, Nokia has told us more about this tablet earlier than any previous model, and you've been pointed in the direction of that information repeatedly. No, it's not shiny press photos or blurry pix on Engadget. If that's all that matters to you, then wait longer or buy something else.

Really, if you have money burning a hole in your pocket, and you need to buy your yearly gadget-for-the-point-of-gadgeting now, go buy something and have fun. The RX-51 will go on sale sometime later this year, and if it suits your gadget lust next year, when money is burning a hole in your pocket again, you can pick one up. You'll even save yourself from paying the initial, bleed the "gotta be the first to unbox one" sucker price.

None of us will cry. Promise.
