I find the partnership between Adobe and Nokia to adapt and integrate Adobe Flash further pretty interesting. This is competing with Microsoft Silverlight and... whatever Apple uses. At end of 2009 most mobile phones will be compatible with Adobe Flash 10. You can bet Maemo will support Adobe Flash 10 too!

Rafe Blandford's twitter stream says there are more announcements tomorrow from Nokia.
I'm pretty sure that they are just saving the best (Nseries) till last. We know that they are about to announce their 8mp cameraphone at this conference, or they wouldn't have teased us with this photo:

They had a Q&A chat window going. I asked
The reply from Udo Szabo, Senior Manager was
Go here at approx 4pm GMT and ask for yourself:
http://events.nokia.com/mwc/qa.htm
I have heard rumours of a new tablet (N900??). Will Nokia be going ahead with a new tablet?
"@ukjeeper I havent heard that.

Well, it's our job to convince you of the opposite.
On the HW-side of things, we have pretty much said already what we've got: HSPA data, OMAP3 processor, 3D HW-graphics acceleration, and high-definition camera.
What remains the same is our mission for Maemo: high-end Nseries devices with large touch screen that you can put into your pocket (by the way 600g does not fit that category).
Looking at the device sexinness is crucial to have an idea about its success.
N97 is sexy. N96 wasn't that sexy (IMHO). And that is because of the HW and the SW parts.
Here we have no info about key features of the sw neither. Is the next Maemo going to have a good integrated PIM? Is it going to have a good integrated Photos program? Is it going to have good integrated media visualization SW? Or we will depend on Canola unintegrated way of creting things?
Is it going to have no phone but good OVI PIM? Or is it going to have no phone but good program to edit your phone's PIM? Or nothing at all as today?
All of this info is crucial to be able to decide if Maemo Tablets are going to be something you can replace all your company phones with or just another niche machine that sooner or later will die.
I understand nothing can be said about all of these now, because everything is being cooked. But we as users simply don't know how much cooked all those parts are or even if they are going to exist some time, so we are simply nervious.

Software can be sexy to the person who has seen it. All others will have to wait until they have seen it. Some can also believe based on what the person who saw it has said.

Just to add some spurious information to fuel the fires of conversation:
Anssi Vanjoki - Executive Vice President, Markets, Nokia is giving a talk on Wednesday at WMC entitled: 'Entertainment in Your Hand'
I googled him and found him quoted in an interview saying
http://www.symbian-guru.com/welcome/...i-vanjoki.html
Do you think he might mention something on Wednesday?

"Does the launch of touch-based phones spell the end for Nokia’s Internet Tablets?
Anssi - Definitely not. We know the Touch technology inside out because we introduced the first product of this kind back in 2004 (Nokia 7710) and if you look at the Internet Tablet segment, it’s not dying at all, on the contrary – it’s our future. I remember saying at some launch even that it would take five generations of the Internet tablet devices to really make them mass consumer products – so far, we have launched only three generations and the fourth is in the making at this very moment, based on the Maemo software that is written for touch-based products, so it’s a very important asset for us. "
