3.5" is the size of the 480x320 iPhone and iPod touch screens. I own an iPod touch 2G, and believe me, I can think of plenty of benefits of a Nokia Maemo 800x480 OMAP3 iPod touch clone (no keyboard). For me, smaller and lighter is better; like Benson said, I can always move it closer to me face. My n810 and my n800 are tanks compared to my iPod. So, the screen size is actually something I like, it's the hardware (or lack thereof) surrounding it that I would have a problem with.

Aha! Some (unofficial) confirmation at last that Rover and RX-51 (the Lead device) are one and the same...

I'm just highly doubtful I could use Rover as my auto's GPS device, the way I do with my N810-- the latter being just barely acceptable visibility-wise.

I sure hope so. I won't buy this... thing.
No, he said "one of the other devices", with an S. Thus, he is confirming more than one other Maemo device.

I'm no longer bound to secrecy. You can thank Nokia for making me jobless.

However, I'll still only go so far. The possibility of going back to Nokia is slim-to-none (more device business layoffs coming) but I still need to network in that space...

Please read more carefully. I didn't confirm that.

OK, so we gather now that Nokia's announcement of Maemo 5 left out the fact that the lead device would be a phone as well. I think some indications in SDK's pointed to that. What remains to be seen now is what the RX-71 is all about.

Hence, make a shadow N97-with-maemo device and experiment with Maemo telephony in public. If this chimera device works out, the next Nseries generation can move to a Maemo derivate (which would be the final, fifth generation) without fear of user acceptance. This strategy is only valid is there IS another device in the queue, as Rover is not more a N810 replacement than the N97 is.

Ahh. Nothing like the smell of fresh speculation in the morning
Ding! And what you say matches with my thought that the N97 probably was originally a Maemo device. Makes me wonder if that device that Eldar was talking about earlier this year with the morphing keyboard was a higher end Maemo 5 device. uhmmmm...

IIRC RX-71 may well be that top-secret device. Details were locked down tighter than Nokia's support for Ovi.
