Sorry about that Benson. I was enjoying the list anyway though!
As far as the "no physical input" stuff, I honestly think there's room in the world for keyboard and non-keyboard devices. There's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all mobile device just like there's no one-size-fits-all car. As soon as the iPhone hype had died down, which portable computing device became the new must-have darling of the media? The eeepc with its full-size keyboard.
I don't think it is. Higher processor speeds mean lower battery life, and bigger batteries mean heavier, bulkier devices.
The vast majority of users want the tablets for things like websites, email and Skype, which the current processor can apparently handle pretty well.
Also don't forget that there HAS been a processor upgrade of a kind, OS2008 increased the clock speed from 330mhz to 400mhz.
It may have been acceptable either with the 770 or with the n800 two years back .But after two years if you still have to wait for the contacts to load before you use any other app..... i dont think that is development of any sort.
I seriously think the tablets are very low on firepower.
I dont want to play 3d games or use photoshop .... i just want to use contacts and rss feed simultaneously..... is it such a huge task?

Please Nokia add Centrino Atom processors to the N810 and wimax version!

but seriously. It has almost been two years since there was a hardware upgrade( i mean cpu/ram) and we still dont have any changes!
But, yeah, I, too, am ready for a real generational upgrade (OMAP3! OMAP3! OMAP3! texrat has already as much as confirmed it).

I don't think it is. Higher processor speeds mean lower battery life, and bigger batteries mean heavier, bulkier devices.
If CPUs only got more powerful at the cost of power usage, then we'd need small nuclear reactors to run modern machines at the power efficiencies of 70s "PCs".

.
Does any one know when can we expect the omap 3 chips to be used in the next generation internet tablets? And what speeds and ram can we expect from omap3?

And what speeds and ram can we expect from omap3?
