"We've always tried to be at the intersection of technology and liberal arts -- we want to make the best tech, but have them be intuitive. It's the combination of these two things that have let us make the iPad."
OMG, this guy... he is just amazing. He truly speaks to the geek, the art guy, the indie music fan, the mom with 7 kids, that hot red head that gives me lunch everyday... Nokia needs to hire him!

Is this "Apple A4" basically just a Snapdragon?

Exactly what I want. The N900 is already really good
Email is still pretty sucky and quite horrible to use. RSS reader - LOL, same as it was on the 770! Ovi Store - geez, just as well there's only about 20 applications or it would be unusable with that UI. Ovi Maps - unusable.
The only decent shipping app on the N900 is the browser, and to those developers I take my hat off.
Sorry to harp on but Nokia seriously need to improve software quality fast if they're destined to be anything other than the provider of phones for the third world.

I'm not impressed.
Apple makes a nice statement about scaling *up* UI development with this, and the importance of adding new content streams to their platform strategy is definitely key. But, this could have been done better if leverged more like an MS Courier (dual screens, sized like the MB Air) or in the software (the 10/GUI or Mag+ approaches here work).
It makes sense for where they are targeting - don't get me wrong. But better could and should have been done. Maemo is positioned really well in light of this - Ovi Store issues notwithstanding.

I think it's a brilliant appliance.
It's obviously not targeted to homebrew/open source developers crowd.
With the amount of content and integration work it's getting, I'm definitely getting one.

I don't think any of that has anything to do with Maemo still being far from finished or why it doesn't work the way the end user wants it to or expects it to.
Remember, Nokia have been beavering away on Maemo for 5+ years and many of the shipping apps still lack the most basic functionality, haven't been updated since the initial release in 2005 and/or lack sensible integration with the new phone functionality on the N900. Apple employ their own developers to create the best end user experience on their products, while Nokia outsource their development - it shows.

With the size it has, I don't understand why it would be preferable to a netbook to begin with, nevermind the Apple vice-grip
