Calm down hogwash, Qgil (Nokia employee) noted a LONG time ago that the N900 was not going to be released in time for the summit. I think the people going to the summit are mostly aware of this fact.
It looks like you just recently joined the forum so I can understand you not knowing certain things. People expecting tablets to be released before the summit were setting themselves up for disappointment.
Nokia said shipping in mid october in select markets at Nokia World and until that doesn't happen you shouldn't overreact.

As for IM protocols maemo can do pretty much every IM protocol and there is community work being done on facebook, twitter etc plugins with release date in the next month or so.
