if the ti omap is the same arm cortex a-9 then I agree. Dual core would be better.

960x540 is key to Apples iFrame, will probably be used in the next iPhone, as is exactly one quarter of full-HD.
yes, Omap4 uses two Arm Cortex A9 cpu's

Either way nokia needs to come out with something very good and very soon and very cheap to compete with the ipad.
If not the ipad will monopolize the market like they did with the ipod.

I think the 2 keys to tablet computing that are still not within Nokia's grasp:
1. A good UI/UX
2. Content
I'm hoping they'll get those ready for MeeGo.

But there are kinds of contents out there that helps to sell handheld devices: ebooks, music, movies & tv content, etc... let's see how Nokia address those.

and content wise if it shipped with free ovi maps it would help sell some tablets.
just ensure that most if not all meego apps work with it and it'll be a start.
edit, make sure it ships with a browser that has working flash and works with hulu and use that as an advantage over the ipad

None of this wishful thinking is worth a glowing green amorphous flying snot if Nokia doesn't provide support (parts, service contracts, ON-SITE SERVICE or at LEAST Nokia branded service kiosks all over the countries where they sell it, etc). It'll be yet another 'step 1' device trying to play the beta to a far-flung final product yet again whereas a lot of Nokia's competitors aren't playing this 'step 1' device shuffle-dance around bothering to support customers and truly push a product and still manage to stay well ahead of Nokia in terms of getting their stuff out there, used and PURCHASED.
Hell.. people are STILL complaining about stylus availability, for crying out loud. Heheh

Productivity apps, Content creation, Business apps. Those are also apps that are suitable to be implemented with a 'more accurate' (smaller contact area) resistive screen with a stylus.
