I've argued hard against a sim slot in the past. However, as far as I'm concerned they can put whatever they want in it as long as I'm not forced to use the feature (and that's arguably true about e.g. a sim slot), provided that:

Alright... I know my opinion doesn't really mean anything anymore considering that I haven't really been a part of the community since the beginning of the year and haven't held a tablet in my hands since January (yeah, still waiting on my developer's discount to... you know, work), but I'll give my opinion anyways.
Seriously, Jay, your opinion will always count. You've been a huge help to the community and that doesn't evaporate simply because you're on vacation. Heck, I had big plans for jablet.net and have had no chance to act on them for some time. But hey... never say never!

Then you don't understand the cellular game. It's not just dropping in a cellular radio and calling it a day. There are lots government regulation bodies that require extensive testing and certification, all of which costs lots of money. Then there's the software implementation, which also costs money, and carrier requirements, etc, etc, etc.
In the end, it just ends up costing you, the consumer, a lot of money.
I can't believe that regulations would make the next Tablet over 20€ more expensive.

You do have a point with your Zaurus flexibility remark however I must add to this that the CF card was almost always used for WiFi (802.11a/b).

IIRC only the SL6000 had on-board WiFi _and_ a free CF card, and that was Sharp's last Zaurus.
Last Zaurus was SL-3200 (terrier). The line of Zauruses is: SL-A300 (rare device), SL-5000/5500, SL-5600, c700, c750, c760/860, SL-6000 (few variants), SL-C3000, SL-C1000, SL-C3100, SL-C3200.

Any word at this point as to how maemo will address making documentation (for developers) and reporting bugs (for end-users) a cleaner aspect of the development process for maemo going forward?

Is that part going to address the ability to end users to seek and easily report bugs, or stay as it is for mainly developer attention?
What exactly do you mean?
The other fun part of agile (iterative) development is documentation. Developers have long complained about aspects of the OS not having sufficient documentation and therefore its harder to make and not break aspects of the core system when trying to extend its functionality. From my own observation of what documentation is out there, it sucks. Has or will maemo modify its efforts in this area so that developer confusion is less of an issue?
The latter question teeters on internal conversations that might not be ready for public knowledge; though at a developer convention, I would expect that some high level aspect of this would be talked about seeing that what has been spoken so far has been about vision casting and garnering more momentum for the upcoming platform advancements.

Anyone know how the next tablet will be better/different than the HTC Touch HD (apart from OS)? I just read the hardware specs today and I'm impressed. Ive been an early adopter of Nokia tablets but the HTC touch HD seems to do everything the n9x0 will, plus voice? I'll buy one of these gizmos depending on availabilty and price.
