If this leaked picture is actually of the tablet:



Then I really question the decision to shrink the display, as it looks like the current sized screen could still fit (based on the amount of space between the screen and the edge of the device).

Full screen gets in the way of quickly bouncing between applications.
May be this is off topic... but that exactly is what the switcher hardware key is for. Why duplicate it when you can do it easily with your thumb?

Based on the recentness of the Maemo 5 beta release, I'd have to assume that the folks working on the hardware for the next tablet were using Maemo 4 for at least a good portion of the development of it.

Check this for your city:

T-mo is using Nokia's remote manageable base stations and are evidently timing their first T-Mo US 3G cellphone to the network buildout.

One of the best draws of Maemo is emulation. Without a dpad, its going to be almost impossible (aka iPhone). Goodbye n900...

Don't want to read all 20 pages of speculation.

Just curious: what do you use the Tablet for?

I actually like the N900 screen size. I was waiting for the release on N97 to replace my N95 and now I will wait instead for this N900 to replace the N95.

Today I use very little my N800, as it is too big for my pocket (I have small pockets) and the screen a bit too small to browse the net (i use my 7" tablet most of the time, it is comfortable enough to fully replace the pc).

Most smart devices in the market have the screen either 3.5" or 7" (or bigger).
I believe Nokia will later release a 7" tablet with Maemo. It would complement this N900.

To me that keyboard looks like a slightly more cramped version of the N97 keyboard (the layout is the same, but the buttons are just smushed together).

As I've heard nothing but disappointment about typing on the N97, I don't find that comforting; although to be frank, I found the keyboard on the N810 to be unuseable (which was one of the main reasons I got rid of it after a few weeks and went back to my N800).
