I think nokia should improve/perfect the usability of the internet tablet, making it a web tablet with a desktop/laptop quality browsing experience.

-full speed flash support: n800 is too slow for some flash heavy sites (high bitrate video for example)
-embedded video support (windows media, quicktime and real )
-full speed for Ajax heavy sites (google docs, reader etc. etc.)
-should be perfectly stable: both Opera and the Mozilla browser aren't perfectly stable. (sometimes they crash: NOT acceptable )
-fully usable with your fingers: using software improvements and maybe a better touchscreen (multitouch??)
-better outside usability : the screen of the N800 isn't viewable in bright sunlight, so a better screen that solves this would be welcome.
-improvements in the text input methods: like a hardware keyboard, or working hand writing recognition, or other software input methods (trace writing, better error detection in words, a d-pad input method etc.)
-bring back the Nokia 770 hard cover: it worked SO well, and protected the device perfectly.

Adding other features aren't necessary in my opinion:
-GPS navigation
-slick looking UI with zoom effects (like the iphone)
-better camera
-stereo blue tooth headphone support

they could be nice, but the MAIN feature of the tablets aren't fully mature yet and should be the top most priority.

The processor speed is just over the adequate bar. Sorta like Forest Gump's IQ.
And just like Forest who could do one thing really well (run Forest, run), I feel certain that the current tablet will be able to do 1 or 2 things really well.
However, I would think that whatever that 1 thing is, it wont be developed until the API break in perhaps Chinook. After Chinook, the default setting is to provide API compatibility with an emphasis in backward compatibility in new maemo versions. Without that, I would think the user base is somewhat limited.
