Basically, Nokia was well ahead of the curve with the 770. They basically made the first MID, before anyone knew what a MID was. The N800 and N810 moved that concept forward, and then, right when the rest of the market was catching up, putting a label on the general concept, and starting to release devices ... Nokia abandoned that market.

What I wish Nokia would do is: get back ahead of the curve, instead of being behind it. IMO, they basically missed the netbook curve, coming out with too-generic too-late. They need to get back to doing it first, and doing it better.

I know some would like to see new 4"-5" tablets ... but I'm not really convinced that there's an important market there. a 4" tablet phone, sure. A 4" connected tablet? could be (esp. with Skype, Google Voice, and generic SIP capabilities). A 4" non-connected tablet (like the N8x0)? no.

Where I think Nokia can, and should, be is that the mid-range tablet is still young enough that they could do something amazing. Maemo on a 9" or 10" tablet would be outstanding, if done correctly. But, the window for "doing it [nearly] first, and doing it better" is basically "within the next few months". After that, they'll be just another "johnny come lately" to the crowd. And, unlike the 770 and N800, if they wait too long, they might not beat Apple to the table.
