Hmm.. Much less chatter than normal. I think everyone here is behaving in hopes that JohnX spills more dirt...

I don't think there's anything new that we haven't already heard before. As Johnx says its running software that we already have seen on hardware that we can look at now (maybe not the touch screen) so that's maybe why there isn't the deluge of questions one may expect for someone who has seen the 'new' device.
What I want to know is who got severely drunk and spilled some juicy beans

Yeah. I was pretty surprised too. I didn't really mean that people shouldn't comment or discuss, I just wanted to head off flames, arguments, negativity, and "me too" posts. Or maybe everyone is totally satisfied now?
I hardly think anyone is satisfied. The disappointment has sunk in and we have started to move on.

I got a chance to play with fennec on the device a little bit: Even when loading heavy sites it was responsive and fast. It loads engadget.com many times faster than fennec on the N810 I had sitting next to it on the same WiFi network.
I know you probably didn't get much time to play around with it that much, but if you get a second chance, test the browser further.
Thanks

Here's a question that is sigting on my mind a bit: did any of the devices have a form factor that do not look like currently announed or selling Nokia mobile devices? This is just a yes or no question; I'm quite aware that more that that is too much.
Another question (if you want to get playful): you speak of not even noticng the screen size, which is obviously a shot towards recent comments. Can you go into some of the unique things that you noticed such as the polish of the UI or even if the software felt better tied to the hardware as you sed those devices?
Lastly; did any devices have more than one camera?
I've got an inkling on things. A small one. But I've got thoughts and Nokia just might have tipped their hand some.

From what I hear, however, Fennec runs quite smoothly.

So, is it an actual beagleboard? If so, that brings to mind questions like "how hard will it be to run Maemo5 on an Always Innovating Touchbook?" ... sure, you have to find out what the resolution issues might be, but, that was one of my first questions when I first saw that.

They wouldn't let anyone take a photo of it (ha! imagine that)...
EDIT: Sorry if I suggested that the picture below is of the prototype devices. I didn't believe that. But what is that thing in the middle, behind the laptop, facing away?
