What I would like to see from Nokia next is a bigger version of the tablet with some multi-core processing power and a big screen.
I love the browsing experience on N900 and I would like to have a bigger device for surfing on the couch and perhaps for traveling. 10" screen with a little bit better resolution (1280x768?) would be really really nice. That would enable using any application either remotely or with easy-deb-chroot.
There could be some nice integration between the N900 and the "living room tablet". Of course contacts, calendar etc should be synced between them, but also it would be nice to be able to continue on-going conversations after switching the device. This thing would also be less of a personal device because all family members would most likely be using it (maybe needs multiple user support).
It would be great for watching movies etc when traveling, and why not as a big-screened navigator - I wouldn't mind carrying around a 10" half-a-kilo device in my bag in a foreign city. It could also be used as a terminal device for connecting to the workplace terminal server or my own box.
What do people think, anybody else fancy such a thing?

But yes, something like that, yet running Maemo on ARM hw.

I think this is the direction I would like to see Nokia take. Not sure about the need for a physical keyboard, though (perhaps some USB ports for connecting a keyboard when needed).
