Just a FYI, if anyone fancies helping with the porting of Meego to the Tab, please take a look here: http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/Hummingbir...ung_Galaxy_Tab
That should give enough information for people to get going and I'm filling it out as I have the time. I'm currently trying to debug some sort of issue with the framebuffer driver and Xorg which means we don't see a display (even though Xorg is running apparently quite happily).
If anyone has any questions or thoughts please catch me on irc (#meego-arm). Thanks

From reading through, I got the impression you'd already known and been using Heimdall. Grr!
Thanks for all this! This is FANTASTIC! ...but I assume this only works on a particular version of the Galaxy Tab? (i.e. SCH-I800 is the one I have. I didn't see any notes about which versions this should or might work with... or which version you had used to do all this.)
Kudos!

Actually, Google Maps is, in fact, available in the Android Market.
First thing's first--STOP AUTOKILLING APPS.You really need to let Android 2.2 manage memory on its own. I raaaaaaaaaaaarely kill apps to start with and it's been documented all over the Internet that with 2.1, task killing was a necessary evil that killed the battery, but with 2.2 you no longer needed an automated task killer because memory was freed up as necessary and actually helps increase battery life FAR better than an automated task killer (which actually made battery life worse).
Second, assuming you have a rooted Galaxy Tab, you can use Titanium Backup to FIRST: back-up your copy of Google Maps. SECOND: Uninstall Google Maps using Titanium Backup (even OS apps can be uninstalled using TB). THEN, go to the Android Market and reinstall Google Maps.
Lastly, Why is it crashing? I doubt that uninstalling and re-installing will fix that. What is the symptom and how does it crash? Maybe we need to triage the issue before we jump to conclusions about a cure for the problems.

What happens when you're at the Android desktop, tap the MENU key and then tap on "Wallpaper?" How did you know you messed up that particular apk? Maybe I can try to help out or at least research it with you.

If so--this might give you some profound promise/hope for when you throw Honeycomb on there, as I'm sure we all will at this rate.
Nokia's slogan shouldn't be the pedo-palmgrabbing image with the slogan, "Connecting People"... It should be one hand open pleadingly with another hand giving the middle finger and the more apt slogan, "Potential Unrealized." --DR
