The internet tablet in not that important yet so now. So they will patiently release the real tablet when they have fully compromised with The Maemo community.
Ya know, you might be on to something.

Some of us were looking at this as competing with the iPhone and the Pre in the N. American market and we were not very optimistic regarding those prospects.

Perhaps the intent is not so much to gain N. American market share. Its intro into this market now may help prevent or reduce erosion of world market share by the iPhone and the Pre later on...

Weaken them here and now over a market Nokia does not have a significant share in or, fight one of them later when they are much stronger over a share of a market Nokia is already established in.
