I'm really hoping that the next tablet will allow me to use it like I do a laptop.
We already have the basic apps out there gnumeric/abiword, and being able to connect it to a projector would be unbelievably cool.
Instead of having to lug a laptop around, I can slip my N900? into my pocket and do most things I do with my laptop.

I pretty much have to accept I'm going to be disappointed (a little) with the next tablet, but that isn't Nokia's fault, that's mine for dreaming too much ;-)

But I feel that the increase in speed will allow it to be used a lot more, anyone think of a docking station for it! lol

No, you're right. Again. I'll try to rephrase all my idle speculation in the form of a non-profane car analogy.

ragnar is being honest, and professional. Actually I'm surprised he still has the motivation to post in this thread.
ragnar seems like a really nice person. He should not have to put up with the likes of me.

I'm basically done in this thread. You actually want me to work on real stuff instead of discuss in the middle of idle speculation.
Yes, I want you to go work on real stuff. Here's a list:

d-pad
stylus and stylus holder
stylus keyboard

Actually, a dock sounds like a great idea. Depending on the usb/charging setup/location, I can envision a "mini" dock/sled with a full size sd card reader in it that wouldn't add much thickness to the device and allow the use of the full size sd cards (that all us N800 owners have lying around).

A little thicker sled/dock could add an extra battery and hub with a couple usb ports on it.

Provided of course a kickstand doesn't get in the way

Maybe a couple of bigger speakers and a sub-woofer in the dock.

I'm still holding out for the single-slot Pop-Tart toaster -- but, if we're talking "docks," we might as well go for the two-slot model.

What with the ongoing climate change, global warming, melting polar caps and whatnot, I'm surprised no one has thought of the obvious yet : most of all we need a pop-out (like the camera on the N800)... FAN. Especially if the new interface is going to be fingers-only (sweaty hands).

Kudos to myself for bringing this thread back on topic :-)

Or, to save battery, maybe a pop-out chalk bag (for the afore-mentioned sweaty hands).

Edit: Even better! A hardware button which, when pressed, will dispense the chalk powder, pepper-mill style.

I use the stylus keyboard heavily, but even with my Nokia-approved stylus, my tablet's screen gets little hazy circles over the stylus keyboard area. When the screen is off, and you tilt the tablet, you can see where all the most-used keys on my keyboard are.

So, I agree that the stylus keyboard is suboptimal, even if it is the best thing we've got (on the N800).

I'm prepared to be blown away by the exciting new solution that Nokia provides us!

Just, um, do it before Pandora comes out, ok? I got this, you know, bet thing with fanoush...

Thinking outside the box a bit...

Given the accelerometers in the next device(s), could the D-pad be replaced with physical gestures (shake the tablet, tilt the tablet - that sort of thing)?

Actually, that's thinking _inside_ the box...
