If you could have Nokia change something about the tablets, what would you change?

It could be software, hardware, functionality, anything.

What "one thing" would you change...

Please spare us a long list of things you would change, I am just looking for the one most important change you would like to see made.

If we had hardware 3D (enabled?) maybe we could really improve the smoothness of the whole user experience, make the whole interface a little more like Canola, and make Canola's eye candy a little smoother.

That would be my wish.

Include an "IM Penguibait" option, so that we can instantaneously feed PB with coding suggestions


or a slightly bigger screen would do the trick for me too (bigger as in taking up the entire tablet instead of the surrounding plastic bezel)




EDIT: Hardware accelerated OpenGL is very high on my list, but we already know that it's coming for next-gen devices. For current and past gen devices, PowerVR MBX drivers takes my number one spot. Drivers in any shape or form would make me a happy man

the "one thing" would be clamshell-design (so keyboard can be slightly bigger and protects screen when closed).

a second wish might be a screen that's a little bit larger. and a full-blown desktop distribution and screen rotation out of the box and ... OK, I'll have to wait for quite a while. 2009 might not be my year.

A better GPS receiver, the N810 could have replaced my Garmin Nuvi 680 GPS.

An N810 with built-in 3G or HSDPA would be just about perfect.

If I was granted further wishes I'd ask for a clamshell form factor and a slightly larger screen.

GNU toolset+dash+bash. instead of Busybox. Much easier porting for many libraries, apps, etc. Come on, it's only 3.5mb extra use in flash (busybox is 300kb) for a lot less headache for developers. And is performance so much to speak of when we're dealing with a 166mhz-400mhz machine?

Better usability, polish, fingerfriendlyness, and themability of applications and OS. Better integration between apps, and apps-os. I.E. user-experience.
