...How we do the task switching is still not public, but I'll promise that we keep Maemo a multitasking environment and we won't use up valuable real estate on the display.

You may not want the answer to that.

Nokia has finally embraced the touchscreen movement.
The Finnish phone titan has plans to introduce three devices that feature big touchscreens and so-called Qwerty keypads, according to industry sources, say analysts.
One of the new models to be rolled out has a 4.2-inch touchscreen and a "hidden slide-out keyboard," and is considered a mobile Internet device or tablet. The device is targeted for introduction in the fourth quarter before Christmas.
In a follow-up post, chlettn points to Nokia World 2009 (September 2-3) as the likely unveiling / announcement date for these devices.

Terrific! If I live in one of about 12 major metro's I get 3g, otherwise I have to pay for 3-9 months of their awesome EDGE service.
</sarcasm>
I would hope to (and gladly) pay about the same as I did for n810, without having to sign up for any carrier's service, contract or not.

Consider this: I want food. I don't like asparagus. If I asked for food, and someone offered asparagus, I don't want it because I don't like it.
Now on to bigger fish!

It looks like employees still in Nokia may be letting all kinds of cats out of the bag. May be.
