A good keyboard would make the internet tablet useful in many situations it is currently not. You can for example "sort of" blog with N800 but it isn't really fun.

Then again, Nokia first has to learn to make proper keyboards like Psion S5 had.

In any case I wouldn't mind seeing a new Maemo-based device on the market since both my N800 and 770 have been stolen from me recently (in separate incidents)

As to GPS, if it would work as badly as it does on N95, forget about it. 5 minutes for getting the initial fix, and you are not allowed to move. And the same show again if the fix gets lost on the way. Not by any means worth the battery drain.
