BTW: I respect your wits, but please look carefully, before posting alternative acer images.
But more importantly, can you explain why it doesn't look like an Acer Iconia A100, like I'd said? Tapered sides and all?

Oh now you're just sounding like Apple. Will you also try to sue them off the market in Au and Eu?

@gerbick,
What I mean is that IMHO the N900 is still today as "modern" and innovative as it gets, and still costs way less than other supposedly-better phones..
There is no Flash 10.x support, now being blamed to hardware (Adobe shares the blame here), the N900 lacks RAM to run MeeGo 1.3 (Nokia chose the hardware) - the N900 MeeGo 1.2 CE runs a little... well, unoptimized.
Yes. It has the ability to run full-blown Debian. I can run Ubuntu on my Xoom - full-blown Ubuntu. I have Flash 10.3 on my Xoom, Atrix. I have full (or close enough) HTML5 support where sites that use heavy AJAX don't choke my phone (Atrix and Dell Venue Pro w/ Mango) upon trying to view those sites.
The N900 is an awesome piece of kit. But it is showing its age. Small-ish screen, horrific battery life, non-gorilla glass screen, 600mhz (out of the box) processor, lacking RAM, dwindling support, dying community, limited 3G spectrum in my market (N9's Penta-band solves my problem), lack of apps despite being the "most open" - thank Mece for Tweed Suit, before it, Twitter was basically forgotten, Mauku was "closed source" and never released to the community.
So yeah. I agree... the N900 is/was pretty nice. But time has passed it by in price, expectation and development. And it has been undercut in price by other feature phones, some smart phones. And the Grid 4 actually is cheaper than it on release... patience will probably mean it'll be even cheaper later down the road.

Tablets should have the ability to create/edit media.

Can we change the thread title to something else now?
I'd go for "Tabco: meh"

Could someone write me please a PM as soon as MeeGo is running at their phone?
The Hardware is not that superior, too less RAM, only 16GB Memory and a missing Keyboard... but perhaps it's with MeeGo worth a second look.

A joke? I'm just dealing with facts ma'am.

What annoyed me most though was that a lot of the text was too big (hopefully customizable..), and it appeared to be "cut" at the top and the bottom (e.g. the clock), like the space for it was too small (or not dynamically resized, which is bad enough..)
