Haha.. Tell me about it! I'm honestly shocked that the MBX chipset *still* isn't utilized.

To be honest, I think that if the GPhone platform really *is* open, it shouldn't be difficult to integrate it (libraries, base applications, etc) into the maemo environment, or replace maemo altogether.

I think the tablet needs very little to be a big contender in this race. It is such a balanced mix of good technology (the Nxxx screen is a huge deal). However, it needs 3D driver support, a faster bus (better video performance, etc), and more internal storage.

Also, lacking GSM means that many will pass over the tablet to purchase close substitutes (devices that can both surf the net and act as a phone).

Nokia apparently isn't a part of the alliance. I wonder what their market response will be.
