So how much of this functionality do y'all think could be accomplished with say...SDIO? Honestly, I've never used it, just always thought it was a great idea that perhaps wasn't implemented particularly well. I recall see at least on post here, in this thread I mean, where one of us said that their SDIO wifi card was horrible. But if drivers/cards/implementation in general could be sorted out, WiMax sdio, cdma/sim, gsm/sim, etc, etc. Possible or no?
I would prefer to avoid SDIO and instead promote something with a better form factor for a radio device upgrade. Also--if it's big enough a DMA slot with decent integration, it can be used for other things (expansion of all sorts) likethe geek port on the BeBox, for example. After all, this appears to me to be mainly a geek's tablet.

But that summit's tagging onto OSiM. Think about that.
p.s. And there have been hints. I'm not finding the reference ATM, but something was said about expecting the agenda to reshuffle in reaction to an announcement from Nokia.

If I'm not gonna be there, I'm at least gonna hype it so either
j/k
- People will be ready to report back live from the announcement.
- or they'll be disappointed, which will serve them right for getting to go.
j/k

OK. I'll bite on this thread. Hopefully Nokia listens. . .
Let's be realistic here. No pie in the sky kind of stuff.
1) OMAP 35xx Applications Processor with OpenGL support.
2) Two standard SD card slots.
(I don't want limited built in flash, or miniSD. MiniSD is way too expensive.
3) No scratched up metal casings!
(I'm sick of seeing crappy looking scratched N810s. I'd rather keep my N800 with a BT keyboard. I spent $150 USD on a BT keyboard, and bought another N800, rather than having a scratched up, barely expandable N810 with a somewhat buggy GPS module. I'd rather by a separate phone with GPS than to buy an N810, or an N810 successor if they keep using MiniSD and scratchable metal casings.)
4) A hardware keyboard would be nice. . .
5) GPS is ok too. . .
6) A display with support for at least a 768 vertical screen resolution.
(So we can see our dialog boxes.
7) At least 512MB RAM.
(So we can run our applications.
8) An open source WLAN driver.
That's it! Nothing fancy. . . Just the basics are enough for me. Unfortunately it seems they can't simply settle on getting the basics correct FIRST before trying to get fancy with other things

That's all that's available from the two suppliers (Samsung and Micron). This is also why the Pandora and Beagle don't offer more than 128MB of RAM. This may change, but I doubt we'll reach 512MB with any NAND.

Really, you should just get about three N800s and Xdmx. Show that SD Multi Tool who's the boss!
(I've honestly considered this; while it would be ubercool, it's likely enough to fail and minor enough in utility for me to never get around to it.)

heh, now i have the vision of having one N810 and a couple of N800's wired up as a cluster with synergy as the control system
why the singular N810? the keyboard
