The OS snapshots remind me of that Maemo knockoff we glimpsed at on that strange Chinese UMPC at CeBit. Could that have been a proto of sorts ?
Anyway, maybe these "tablets" run Linux, but they're still not instant on and twice as expensive as the Nokias...

it all boils down to value for money...
if you can use it 2 times more effectively, and you can afford the 2 times more price, then you can consider getting it!
to me, effectively using the device (not fighting it) is value to me. whatever the OS, hardware/software, if I am unable to capture that "effective use" value, then its not worth it to me.

the intel umpc video is incredible, i love it... ithink the n800 can do all in this video but need more software , for develop audio vocal recognition et big hard drive ... and hsdpa / phone capability.
i think if an N900 become with that , umpc style with good interface , it will kill the PC on our desktop (it's a good thing
The software is the most important things in tablet (internet , umpc and now mid) platform for customer...
'see the iphone software : EXCELENT

This will accelerate the development of linux on handhelds. Additional corporate development is great for all n800/770 owners.

What I do not understand:
On slide 5, they compare MID (Linux) to UMPC (Windows).
Under "Platform Openness", they say:
MID: Mixed
UMPC: Open
I would have guessed the opposite. What could this mean? Maybe they're planning a device that only runs pre-installed software and restricted applets, similiar to the iPhone?
