Yeah, perhaps the mockup designer didn't quite catch the idea of what a diamond keyshape keyboard would look like.

So according to the Fremantle roadmap (http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Maemo_roadmap/Fremantle) we're expecting a new drop of the SDK 'around' Feb
also the bossa conference is March 8th
Is this the next likely venue to get latest progress info? Maybe some pictures of any new interface etc?
the timeline indicates a beta somewhen march-may, are there any obvious confrences/events around then that might make sense as an announcement platform?
Just idly wondering...

Please please please, NOT a prism-style keypad on a tablet!

Don't worry, it'll be like the Macbook Wheel.

I didn't, either. Could you post a picture or two of what it looks like?

I went to a S60 user even last night a met somebody on the Nokia N-Series team.

Some basic info.

The new tablet is expect around Father's day. Keeyp track of when the prior tablets were released and the new one is expected around the same time.

The tablet will be bigger than the current N810 and have direct SIM Card/GSM Support. Nokia don't want the tablets to compete against the mobile (N97) segments. So they're going to make it less pocketable and more like a PC. (People will buy the tablet and their phones)

Buttons/keypad will improve and the new tablets will come in variations. Instead of a single say N810 model. They will have multiple models with different CPU, RAM and HD at various price - like a PC.

You can check out recent Nokia news/press and see that their CEO is announcing that they are going into the PC industry. The information aligns with Nokia computing efforts.

For the past few years, Nokia have been using 770, 800 and 810 users/programers to test out the product and prepare them to built the real tablet expect this summer.

And the news is this time they're "serious", the prior tablets were release in small batch production with no intent to make money. This time they're manufacturing in them for the masses.
