I would buy THAT.
If I had a job of course.
If I don't have a job by then, I have much bigger concerns.

Everyone duck, I got an idea.
First I realized what lots of people probably already knew: The reason Internet Tablet Talk had to be absorbed is that the Nokia tablet as we experienced it was known to be history!
Then I realized that a heck of a lot of people here still want a new Internet Tablet.
Therefore, if this were really a democracy of any description or pretense of one, I would say
"Mr. Chairman! I move that rather than merge with Maemo, ITT secede from Nokia! It is clear that most of us are a lot more interested in various kinds of Internet tablets than we are in blindly supporting Nokia (or Maemo).
The ITT name should not be allowed to die!"
But even in my fantasy, my motion died without a second.

I thought this place was community run? Do the leaks really need to be external to us. Some inclusion would be nice.
&
the CONFIRMATION internal.
IMO this would validate the community without causing the Big N to question its' involvement here.

You can use the keyboard to copy and paste. There are shift and arrows keys.

If there is no new _Nokia_ tablet, then, yes, maybe this forum should _not_ be a part of Nokia's community...
I know maemo.org and Nokia are not one in the same, but they are very closely linked to one another... uncomfortably so, now that there may not be another _tablet_.
Our tablets will all be running on Mer soon, anyways, since Nokia won't bother with us anymore. And Mer != maemo, no matter how close it is.

It seems to me that the only reason Nokia allegedly / un-allgedly released this information of the N900 is to compete with the next gen iPhone which might be due in July according to several rumors and leaked specs. Knowing that the N97 might come short for competing with the next gen iphone, pre etc, they released this(N900?). A Nokia "Move" to stay in the game. The internet tablet in not that important yet so now. So they will patiently release the real tablet when they have fully compromised with The Maemo community.

I just said it is not maemo... and it is not _by_ Nokia.

All times are GMT. The time now is 00:33.
Nokia(NOK Quote) 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.
