One thing is certain but not discussed:

Nokia staff (the ones who work on the tablets) are very quiet lately. It's almost eerie. However, the maemo bugzilla seems to be knocking out issues at a record pace. Watch the change logs. Wow. To me, that means everyone over there is heads-down into their work in preparation for something new.

They do read the blogs and watch the forums, though. I'm sure of that. Let's hope the feedback here is rolled into the product they're making.
