If you mean add-on module we've discussed that before (e.g. considering SDIO and MiniPCI Express).
If Apple has iPhone and iPod Touch, is it so hard for Nokia to have N900p and N900t?

The difference between these 2 devices is more than one having a phone and the other one not.

We, most of us here I think, don't want to pay a premium for a phone and use it as a tablet. We want to have a tablet but also can use it as a phone if possible. Phone should be an add-on option not a requirement for a tablet. If Apple has iPhone and iPod Touch, is it so hard for Nokia to have N900p and N900t?
But maybe I talk too soon. I'll wait.
Remember also that the N800 when launched was $400 and the N810 was $479, I purchased a full price N800 and a half priced N810. Both were worth the money to me at the time, however I am a long time mobile phone junkie and used to buy a new $400 mobile phone every 3 months or so

My point is that it isn't as simple as 1 difference. And that difference isn't modular. There is not 1 difference between N800 and N810 either; each has their strong sides and userbase.
What would you want in your perfect tablet which more resembles the current tablet than the path N900 goes? Those who don't like the N900 path need to think of this, and sketch an alternative device. That way you can group together to find the right device, either by Nokia and/or with Maemo/Mer or not.

My remark about spoiled children included me, obviously ! As a super geek myself ... I'm quite enough spoiled !
Moreover this remark was not about people upset by change but about people complaining about Maemo not being a full Linux.
I wonder if your famous full Linux experience on N8xx is so great ... snappy, ergonomic, and if the battery life is so good too ... i still don't think it's possible right now to have such a good user experience on a small screen and quite underpowered device. Anyway, what is important is that it suits your needs.
I will still prefer Maemo ...
ps :
I'm a guy but not into trucks, so i can just guess the meaning of your example ...
