Krisse, drop the straw man silliness. Find me a single post on this thread that says that there should not have been a Maemo device with cellular. (I could find you multiple instances on this thread where people who believe Nokia should already be offering a non-cell-enabled tablet have explicitly stated that they are "not anti-phone" and that they are not saying there should have been a tablet instead of a phone.)

Heck, I'm the OP and I'll even say that if Nokia had to come out with only a single Maemo device for this period, then a converged device was the smart choice. But I don't believe Nokia had to limit itself to a single device. Especially since it would seem to take very little engineering to offer a tablet once the N900 was being made.

Christexaport makes a strong argument that manufacturing a tablet would be a money-loser. I don't know enough to agree or to rebut it. It's the only argument I've heard, however, that could justify leaving that hole in the Maemo product line.
