You're kind of missing the point here: this thing is not advertised as a tablet, so even if you are able think that SIM slot is a great add-on to a tablet, to the rest of the world this is "not a tablet". Outside of this forum, the N900 is a cell phone. Sorry.

Also, the $100 (seriously, though, the price difference between the N900 and any modern tablet-like device is at least double that, in euros) is probably a bigger deal to people buying the kids or wife internet devices.

If Nokia is not interested in tablet devices, then fine, it's their call. But claiming that the N900 is something that people buying the iPod touch / Android tablets / upcoming Apple Tablet would consider is just silly. Maemo should be all over the tablet segment, in my opinion, since it's well-suited for tablets. I'm just cranky that Nokia doesn't seem to agree.
