I know it's early, but it's fun to dream, isn't it?
Here's the mighty question. What features would realistically you like to see in the N900 -- stage 4 of Nokia's 5 stage plan. Perhaps, Nokia will take some of our brainstorming seriously, and consider implementing some of them as features!
I'll start.
I'd really like to see wireless charging for the N900. Electrical induction has been known since the mid-1800. We have toothbrushes and razors that can charge themselves free of wires, but this technology eludes more sophisticated electronics. I'd like for my N900 to wirelessly charge itself whilst in my jacket pocket in a house, a cafe, or an office, car, or wherever wireless power transmitters can be found. I would like to say goodbye to the socket for good.
Science fiction? Not really, the technology is based on the same basic principles that allow WiFi (and MANY other technologies) to work. In fact, take a gander at the PowerCast Corporation, that is looking to mass produce the technology:
powercastco.com
. Here's an
article at laptopmag.com
talking about the technology.
Failing this, I would like a battery that has the receiver built into it, so that I at least have the option of adding it into the N900 at a later date, or upgrading it if power transmissions standards suddenly change.
An always on tablet would be a KILLER feature.
I can see Apple releasing a feature like this in their next PDA (the upcoming newton) and being heralded for another "first".
What is your idea for the perfect tablet?

YARR!!
