Interesting - good to see HSPA support.
Has somebody recorded the presentation?

I'm sure someone did it, however it will probably take some time to get it online.

I guess this confirms the speculation over Texrat's previous comment on being blown away by Step 5 of 5. Great news to see HSPA connectivity. I just wonder what this will do to potential N810WE sales - My guess is that people will hold off until the new Maemo device comes out

He announced new processor... Hope they are not going to drop support for the old ones. I am really close to buying one but if they drop support in the next months...

Not particularly excited about the cellular stuff here.

Interface compositing with PowerVR, a RAM boost, much faster CPU. Basically, it's a similar situation to what happened with the 770.

Nokia did promise us at least 2 rounds of support per tablet, and the N810 has only gotten one (no, the dinky little Diablo update does not count as a round). So either Nokia breaks the promise (I picture rioting here) or, as Jaffa put it "hamstrings" the backport to keep it within the OMAP2's limits.

I doubt that a radio interface will change much about the price. I don't think the WiMAX hardware in the N810WE made it much more expensive, so why should HSPA hardware change much about an "N900HE" price-wise?
I don't get the negativity regarding cellular network support on here.
