2) Is possible because A) Nokia owns the source B) it is already ported to ARM C) directly increase profit for Nokia.
3) A pity, because 3G is rolled out well whereas WiMAX isn't. It allows 24/7 connectivity in contrast to WiFi. Makes the NIT much more valuable.
4) Isn't a community issue because A) Modest issues B) the framework of EDS is there C) the NIT doesn't have something as basic as a good PIM framework. My phone has it, my laptop has it, heck even my DAP has it... but my NIT doesn't.
5) See many other posts, or tabletui.wordpress.com. Hire this guy!!

3,4) the nit is supposed to pair up with a phone, not replace it...

Really? Then why does it have Skype, Gizmo..? What you state is precisely my point; its better to have 3G _on_ the NIT, and eventually use a laptop with a NIT for tethering. Means one device less. Its possible to use 3G on a laptop too but maybe Nokia, given their phone business, isn't the right corporation for such an IT...

Sure, good point. It really depends on the situation. If I go hiking I'd take the NIT (or something similar) with me, not a TP. However, if I can't use it to phone, or if I can't use the GPS...

Um, what exactly 3D has to do with usability?

Compiz is mostly stardust... There are usability plugins though - would love to see the screenshot plugin working.
But overall a 3D interface can add nothing to usability, only subtract. Of course everyone would love to see some windows spinning, but while it is pretty, it is not very usable
