I have been waiting because they earlier models didn' t have the gsm/mobile data on board. Besides your experience I' m afraid the tablets will lack broad support from software vendors. After Blackberry, Android, Windows Mobile, Symbian, Palm another platform. On the other hand, it's a good concept and relative open. I will wait for the reviews.

You might be interested. It does lack the phone and GPS, however. Take a look at the Pandora handheld. You might be interested. It does lack the phone and GPS, however.

Sure, most of maemo is open source (although all three ITs had closed source components), but Nokia stopped supporting them. I didn't pay the maemo people $500; I paid Nokia. I expect them to support the device. I *can* put anything I want on the devices (assuming I can get all the hardware to work, by hacking around the closed source drivers), but that's entirely besides the point. If this is my phone, it has to work, and it has to continue to work, for as long as I need the phone. I don't use my ITs anymore, because they stopped improving, and started bit-rotting.

Everything added was not backwards compatible." Could you be more specific about this? I though that maemo isnt hardware dependend and that fixes / additions to maemo should work what ever device you have. Was there a new version of maemo and the new software was available only for that new release? Thanks for the explanation! “Features and development for the n810 (and n800) stopped.
