1. I would DEFINITELY keep the N800 going alongside the N810, for those people who really do just want a device for accessing the internet. GPS, hardware keyboards and any other extras are great but some people just want the browser. It would also be a cheap way to discover the whole concept of the internet tablet.

I keep saying this, but this multi-device approach works really well for Nokia's smartphones, it means there's a model for everyone but without breaking the software platform that they all share. Added together these smartphones sell far more than any single device ever could.


2. The other big thing I'd do is contribute, test and approve the very best of the great open source software available for maemo. When these apps reach a mature enough status I'd pre-install them on the tablet's firmware. Almost every app on the N800 seems to have a better alternative in development in the OSS community, so why not have these better alternatives bundled with the device instead?

Most ordinary people never install extra software on mainstream devices, and are far more likely to use whatever is built in.
