About Symbian, why would they when there is no consumer products shipping that OS on such hardware?

N-Gage is an API in its own, running on top of Symbian. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Gage_...hnical_details

It could open the Ovi doors to tablet users
I wonder how many tablet users would replace Maemo by Symbian in order to get Ovi services. The natural way to bring Ovi support to the tablets is to bring Ovi support to Maemo.

or use the tablet like a great development platform
How great is a hardware development platform that has no equivalent in consumers hands. And why for a Symbian/S60 developer a tablet would be a better hardware to use than the current S60 top sellers.
