does anyone here hold out much hope that the n900 internet-phone will just be a sister product to the n910 internet-tablet that most of us want?
Which reminds me of a Stephen Crane poem, which I quote, inaccurately no doubt, from memory:
I saw a man
Pursuing the horizon
Round and round they sped.
"It is futile," I said.
"You can never..."
"You lie!" he cried,
And ran on.

So, you're saying it definitely has both a dpad and optical mouse in that one physical spot (like I was attempting to describe in my last post)?

Personally think this is a great navigation key for a mobile device.

AFAIK the MS vision of a tablet was something far bigger.

Even at it's peak, this community is a niche market, not the mainstream.

my apologies, i just find it odd that the maemo community has resigned itself to quickly to the idea that the future is smart-phones, when until recently everyone was clamouring for an N810 mk2.
